What is the Australian visa 187?

Is the work place in a remote area of Australia? If the position you nominate is located in a remote area of Australia, you can apply for a visa of 187. Your employer must also actively run his company business in this remote area. Remote areas are basically areas outside major urban centers such as Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and Melbourne. It should be noted that the whole of South Australia, Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Northern Territory are divided into remote areas (including the relevant capital cities of these States and regions, such as Adelaide and Perth). Comparatively speaking, you can apply for a 186 visa regardless of whether your nominated position is in a remote or non-remote area of Australia.

Advantages of applying for 187 visa under the temporary residence transitional visa category (TRT)

If you have a 457 visa now and want to apply for permanent residence under this temporary transitional visa category after working for your employer for two years in a remote area, then 186 and 187 visas are suitable for you. The only real difference and advantage of applying for a 187 visa is that the Immigration Bureau will give priority to the application of 187. Immigration may process your visa 187 faster, but beyond that, so far, we don't think that visa 187 has any other greater differences and advantages than visa 186. It may be good for your employer that they don't have to pay the nomination fee for the visa application of 187, which is $540 so far.
