The pathway is open to those who are in the high-income earning categories and are at the top of their career charts. In the year 2020, more than 4000 candidates were able to push through the long lines in the general visa program, and obtain permanent residency in Australia through the Global Talent Independent visa pathway, in spite of the lockdown and border closures that were in place on account of the pandemic. The visa program was initiated in November of the previous year, to attract highly skilled professionals in the IT and other Tech related sectors, in order to attract talent that would otherwise opt for other tech-friendly countries such as the US, Canada, and the UK.
