Yes, Subclass 186 is a very popular and suitable option for Subclass 482 visa holders, especially through the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream. Many skilled workers use the Subclass 482 visa to gain Australian work experience and later apply for permanent residency through Subclass 186. Applicants must usually have worked for the same employer for a required period and meet job and salary conditions. This makes Subclass 186 a strong PR pathway.
