Apply For the Distinguished Talent Visa (Subclass 858)


You have to follow certain steps to apply for this visa, let’s study them in a little brief.

1. Before you apply for this visa, you have two visa pathways:

  • The Global Talent Visa Program Pathway for people who have skills in potentially recognised sectors and who have submitted an EOI(Expression of Interest).
  • The Distinguished Talent Visa Pathway for the applicants who are working in other sectors.

For the Global Talent pathway, you will first have to submit an EOI; for that, you first need a nomination to apply for the visa.

2. Next, you have to gather all the important documents to show that you meet all the visa eligibility criteria. This also includes certificates of achievements in the recognised field.

3. After gathering all the mandatory documents, you’re now ready to apply for the visa online.

4. The Australian Immigration Authorities will notify you if they have received your visa application request or not.

5. While the authorities decide on your application, you can either be inside Australia or outside Australia. In case of your visa approval, the authorities will notify you by mentioning the visa grant number, starting date of your visa, and any visa conditions(if applicable) with your visa application.

However, if your visa gets refused, you will be notified of that as well. They will give you a clear reason for your visa refusal or if you have any right to review the decision. Besides, no money will be refunded that you gave as the visa application fees.
