AR6 update: requesting quick job start

Digital procedure updated on 1 October 2026

SIRI has announced an AR6 update from 1 October 2026, adding a separate quick job start page for Fast-track applications. The procedure depends on whether the applicant needs a visa. Visa-exempt applicants should book an appointment only after submitting the application. Applicants requiring a visa must follow the receipt instructions and wait for a decision before starting work.

What this means for your case

Applicants requiring a visa must provide biometrics within 14 days. Submitting an application does not itself grant permission to work.
