A permanent visa pathway for exceptionally talented applicants with outstanding achievement in eligible areas.
The National Innovation Visa Subclass 858 is a permanent visa for people who have an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement in an eligible area.
Fit & suitability
The older Subclass 124 and 858 Distinguished Talent structure has changed over time. Subclass 124 and 858 were consolidated into a single Subclass 858 pathway, and the National Innovation Visa replaced the former Global Talent visa in December 2024.
The National Innovation Visa is positioned for exceptionally talented migrants who can make significant contributions to Australia’s future prosperity, including established and emerging leaders with high-calibre talent and skills.
Unlike points-tested skilled migration, this pathway requires a strong achievements-based narrative. The applicant must show exceptional standing, benefit to Australia, and capacity to contribute meaningfully.
Visawizer helps applicants assess profile strength, evidence readiness, achievement positioning, and the suitability of the National Innovation Visa pathway.
