Request for Minister to Disregard CSIT For Visa in Reasonable Circumstances
Hypothetically, you and your employer have discussed on a work-sponsored visa and have expressed to proceed, however, the hurdle is that your employer is unable to meet the current Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT), previously known as Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) condition. There may be an alternative way to overcome this issue, which is to make a request to the Minister.

Can I Request that the Minister Disregard the CSIT Condition?
In certain circumstances, the Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship has the discretionary power to disregard the CSIT/TSMIT condition for work-sponsored visas, such as the Skills in Demand Visa (SID) (Subclass 482) and the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (Subclass 186) visa, in reasonable circumstances.
