Northern Territory General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program: 2024-25 Applications Suspended
The Northern Territory Government has officially announced the suspension of new applications for the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program for the 2024-25 program year. This decision follows the fulfillment of the allocated nominations for the current period.
Key Updates:
Applications Before Suspension: Applications submitted before the suspension will continue to be assessed, and eligible applicants will receive nominations accordingly.
Reopening in 2025-26: The Northern Territory GSM program will reopen for new applications once the region receives its nomination allocations for the 2025-26 program year.
Exceptions for Onshore Applicants:
During this suspension period, applications will still be accepted under specific circumstances for onshore applicants with particular visa deadlines before 1 July 2025. These exceptions include:
Expiring Visas: Applicants with visas expiring before 1 July 2025 who are ineligible for a Temporary Graduate Visa.
Age-Related Ineligibility: Applicants who will lose GSM eligibility due to age restrictions before 1 July 2025, such as turning 45 or falling below the required migration points score of 65.
Important Considerations:
No Guaranteed Nominations: Please note that nominations cannot be guaranteed before visa expiry dates.
Book Free Consultation: Onshore applicants whose visas are expiring soon should seek professional advice to explore alternative visa options and ensure they remain lawful in Australia.
This early closure highlights the ongoing challenges with limited nomination allocations. Prospective applicants are advised to stay informed via the official Northern Territory migration website for the latest updates.
