What is the Skilled Regional Visa (Subclass 887)?

Overview of Visa 887

The Skilled Regional visa (Subclass 887) is a permanent residence visa that enables holders to live in Australia permanently. It is designed for skilled migrants who previously held certain provisional regional visas and have met residence and work requirements in designated regional areas of Australia.

This visa is a pathway to a permanent residency visa and eventual Australian citizenship, allowing eligible applicants to live, work, and study permanently anywhere in Australia after demonstrating their commitment to regional communities. The visa was introduced to encourage skilled migrants to contribute to regional economic growth before transitioning to permanent residency.

Who This Visa Is For?

The Subclass 887 visa is generally available to migrants who previously held specific regional provisional visas and who have satisfied regional living and employment requirements.

Eligible applicants typically include:

  • holders of the Subclass 489 Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa
  • holders of the Subclass 495 Skilled – Independent Regional (Provisional) visa
  • holders of the Subclass 496 Skilled – Designated Area Sponsored visa
  • holders of the Subclass 475 Skilled – Regional Sponsored visa
  • holders of the Subclass 487 Skilled – Regional Sponsored visa

Applicants must have lived and worked in regional or designated areas of Australia for the required period before applying for permanent residency.

Key Benefits of Subclass 887 Visa

Permanent Stay & Work Rights

The Subclass 887 visa grants permanent residency, allowing holders to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia without regional restrictions. Unlike provisional visas, there are no limitations on location or employment once the visa is granted.

Access to Medicare & Social Benefits

Permanent residents under the Subclass 887 visa gain access to Australia’s public healthcare system, Medicare (Australia's health care scheme), as well as eligibility for certain government benefits and services, subject to relevant waiting periods and eligibility rules.

Travel & Citizenship Pathway

Subclass 887 visa holders can travel in and out of Australia for five years from the date the visa is granted. After meeting the relevant residency requirements, permanent residents may become eligible to apply for Australian citizenship.

Eligibility Criteria for Visa 887

Applicants must meet several key requirements before applying for the Skilled Regional visa.

Eligible Current/Previous Visas

To apply for Subclass 887, applicants must hold or have previously held an eligible provisional regional visa, and it is important to maintain a current visa status throughout the qualifying period, including for dependent partners holding a skilled visa. Eligible visas include:

  • Subclass 489
  • Subclass 495
  • Subclass 496
  • Subclass 475
  • Subclass 487

The visa must have been valid during the period the applicant lived and worked in regional Australia.

Regional Residence Requirement

Applicants must demonstrate that they have lived in a designated regional area of Australia for at least two years while holding their provisional visa.

Evidence of residence may include leases, rental agreements, utility bills, or other documentation proving the applicant’s address during the relevant period.

Work Requirement

Applicants must also show they have worked full-time in a designated regional area for at least 12 months.

Employment can include paid work for an employer or self-employment, provided it meets the required full-time threshold.

Other Mandatory Conditions

Applicants must also satisfy additional visa requirements, including:

  • meeting health requirements
  • meeting character requirements
  • complying with visa conditions during their provisional visa period
  • lodging a valid visa application while holding an eligible visa

Unlike many other skilled visas, the Subclass 887 visa is not points-tested, meaning there is no requirement to meet a minimum points score on factors like age, English ability or work experience.
