[44] Australia PR in 2026: 482, 186, Trades & What Next?
PR still on your Christmas wish list? You’re not the only one. 2025 reshaped Australia’s migration system more than most people realise — and the direction for 2026 is becoming increasingly clear. In this episode, Australian migration lawyer Johnny Kong breaks down what actually changed in 2025 and what migrants should realistically focus on next if permanent residency is the goal. This isn’t about shortcuts or hype. It’s about how Australia’s migration system is operating right now — and how to position yourself properly. What we cover in this episode: • Key changes to the 482 visa • How the 186 transition stream works in practice • Why trade qualifications continue to hold a PR advantage • The reality of points-tested visas going into 2026 • How to prepare now if you don’t yet have PR If you’re on a student visa, 485, or employer-sponsored pathway, this episode is for you. What’s on your PR wish list for 2026? Comment your occupation or current visa below. We don’t update old episodes — follow for weekly, current PR insights. 📅 Book a lawyer consultation: https://calendly.com/getprfaster 📧 Email: [email protected] 💬 Chat with Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnny_lawyer #AustralianPR #Migration2026 #482Visa #186Visa #EmployerSponsorship #TradesPR #SkilledMigration #MigrationLawyer #WorkingInAustralia #RiverwoodMigration
