As many are aware with the implementation of the UK-Australia Trade Agreement labour market testing in no longer required when UK citizens apply for temporary subclass 482 visas.

It should also be remembered that this concession is also extended to 482 applicants who are permanent residents of the United Kingdom but not citizens.

The practical effect of this is that evidence of Labour Market Testing (LMT) is not a nomination requirement if the applicant is a:

·       citizen/national of the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Mexico, Thailand or Vietnam; or

·       citizen/national/permanent resident of the United Kingdom,  Canada, Chile, Korea, New Zealand or Singapore.
