Temporary skilled visa applicants or current visa holders, who are working in a PMSOL occupation, will be eligible to request an exemption from Australia’s travel restrictions.
Individuals do not need to hold a current visa to lodge a travel exemption request.
To apply for a travel exemption, applicants need to apply via the Department’s website and must include:
· traveller details: name, date of birth, visa type and number, passport number
· proposed residential address and phone number in Australia
· your reasons for coming: why you should be granted an exemption
· a supporting statement: setting out how you meet one of the grounds for an exemption
· accompanying evidence.
If an applicant has lodged a visa application, evidence provided as part of the visa application can be used for the travel exemption request.
On arrival, a mandatory 14-day quarantine period is required to be undertaken.
