Update on NT nomination under the General Skilled Migration program – March 2025
As you may be aware, NT nomination program under the GSM program was suspended for new applications on 10 January 2025, with exemptions provided for certain visa deadlines that fall before 1 July 2025. Your application is in queue to be assessed, and you will receive an outcome before 30 June 2025.

Priority Processing Requests
MigrationNT generally assesses applications in order of receipt. If you are currently living in the NT on a temporary visa that is due to expire soon, please note we will do our best to assess your application ahead of the expiry date as specified in your nomination application. However, we encourage you to seek professional advice from a Registered Migration Agent or lawyer and ensure you take necessary steps to remain lawfully resident in Australia.
If you have other deadlines relating to the following circumstances, please email us at migration@nt.gov.au with evidence of the urgency:
- The expiry date on your visa is now different to what you provided in your application (e.g. if you’re on a Bridging Visa that now has an expiry date, or there was a mistake in your application), and the new expiry date falls within the next 30 days.
- You turn 45 in the next 30 days.
- You are due to lose migration points for a subclass 491 visa to below 65 due to a change in age within the next 30 days.
