According to the alert, from 12 November 2026 applicants must be outside Australia both when they lodge the application and when the visa is granted. Previously, applicants could apply onshore once their nomination had been approved.
The source says exemptions for some groups may be announced later, but none were specified. It also records an earlier 2026 change under which a 407 application cannot be lodged until sponsorship and nomination are approved.
