When Rinchen first came to Australia on a Subclass 500 Student Visa, he didn’t just come to study, he came to grow. He quickly fell in love with the Aussie lifestyle: the open roads, the workshop banter, and the satisfaction of fixing something with his own hands.

After completing his studies, he moved onto a Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa and took on full-time work as a Motor Mechanic. Over the next 2.5 years, Rinchen didn’t just turn wrenches, he built trust. His employers admired his precision, his customers appreciated his honesty, and his teammates respected his drive.

But as his visa neared expiry, so did the clock on his Australian dream.

Rinchen wanted to stay. He had built a life here professionally and personally but he was just shy of the 3 years’ experience required for the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Permanent Residency Visa. He also managed to complete a formal skills assessment, a key requirement for the 186.

That’s when he turned to PE Global.

Our expert team listened carefully, assessed his timeline, and designed a clear strategy. We recommended that Rinchen transition to a Subclass 407 Training Visa, a move that would allow him to complete his final months of required experience, undertake skills assessment, and remain lawfully employed in the industry he loved.

But strategy means nothing without execution.

We stepped in to support every detail of the process liaising directly with Rinchen’s employer to ensure they understood and felt confident about the sponsorship obligations. We drafted a compliant training plan, compiled all supporting documents, and lodged the application with care and precision. For Rinchen and his sponsor, the process was seamless and stress-free.

Once the final experience requirement was met and his skills assessment completed, we helped Rinchen transition from his 407 visa to the Subclass 186 Permanent Residency Visa.

Today, Rinchen is no longer counting down the months. He’s here to stay.

He’s now a permanent resident, continuing his career in the motor mechanic trade and embracing life in the country he proudly calls home.

At PE Global, we don’t just help you stay, we help you succeed.

Whether you’re a skilled worker on the edge of opportunity or an employer ready to sponsor someone you trust, our team is here to guide you clearly, expertly, and personally.
