On 27 April 2023, the Minister for Home Affairs announced a TSMIT increase.
TSMIT is imposed as a requirement for the following visas:
- Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482)
- Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)
- Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) (subclass 494)
TSMIT is the minimum salary that must be paid to a sponsored employee to obtain a temporary skilled visa in Australia.
Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) increase
From 01 July 2023, the TSMIT will increase from the existing $53,900 to $70,000.
How will this increase affect sponsored workers?
- Existing sponsored workers will not be affected. However, employers are reminded of their sponsorship obligation to ensure the salary matches the current market salary.
- This will also not affect any nomination applications lodged but not finally determined before 01 July 2023. Applications lodged before 01 July 2023, will have the old TSMIT ($53,900) requirement retained.
Further announcements will come as these changes are implemented. Keep an eye out on our website for immediate updates. If you wish to apply for a visa, you should book a consultation with a lawyer who specializes in immigration law to find out whether it is best for you to apply now before the changes apply after 01 July 2023.
