Recruitment Status and Deadline Record
Current status: Closed / Archived.
The official FIA Career Opportunities advertisement gives 4 May 2026 as the original deadline for online applications and also uses 4 May 2026 as the eligibility cut-off for age, education and experience.
Archived NPF-TAS portal material subsequently reflected 11 May 2026 as the final application-submission date. Because a separate directly accessible FIA extension notice has not been used as the primary evidence on this page, the two dates are clearly distinguished rather than treating 11 May as the date printed in the original FIA advertisement.

The original FIA PDF verifies the 4 May 2026 deadline. NPF-TAS portal evidence later reflected 11 May 2026. No unverified “official extension notice” link has been inserted.
