The National Innovation Visa (NIV) replaced the Global Talent Visa effective 6 December 2024, following legislative changes made through Migration (Arrangements for certain business skills visas) Amendment (LIN 24/078) Instrument 2024 and Migration Amendment (National Innovation Visa) Regulations 2024, both registered on the Federal Register of Legislation on 5 December 2024. The last day for Global Talent visa applications was 5 December 2024. Department of Home Affairs systems were updated to accept NIV Expressions of Interest and applications from 7 December 2024. The NIV is described as an exclusive, invitation-only visa program targeting world-leading talent. This represents a policy transition in Australia's skilled migration program for individuals with exceptional business capabilities.
