The Australia Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186) is a significant pathway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency in Australia through employer sponsorship. This visa category allows Australian employers to nominate foreign workers for permanent residency based on the employee’s skills, qualifications, and experience.
. Â
To be eligible for the Subclass 186 visa, applicants need to meet specific criteria related to their occupation, skills, qualifications, and English language proficiency. They also need to be nominated by an eligible employer who demonstrates a genuine need for the position and complies with labour market testing requirements.
The Subclass 186 visa offers permanent residency status, allowing successful applicants and their families to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely. It provides access to healthcare, education, and social security benefits, similar to Australian citizens.
The 186 visa requires an employer nomination of skilled employment, and an acceptance for such employment in Australia. The applicant must have all the relevant skills and work experience to fill the position.
Other 186 visa requirements include:
There are three streams for the 186 visa in Australia.
For applicants who have 3 years of experience of an occupation on the list of skilled occupations, and who have an offer from an employer in that field.
For applicants who hold a 457, TSS or related bridging visa A, B, or C, and are sponsored by the same employer that sponsored your 457 or 482 visa for at least 3 out of 4 years.Â
For applicants who currently work, or will work, for a nominating employer who is party to a labour agreement. If the applicant is in Australia, they will need to hold a substantive 457 or TSS visa that is issued under a labour agreement.
