EMPLOYER NOMINATION SCHEME VISA
The Australian Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers. It allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers for a permanent position when they cannot find an Australian citizen or permanent resident to fill the role. The Subclass 186 Visa has three streams: Temporary Residence Transition (TRT), Direct Entry (DE), and Labour Agreement stream, each designed to cater to specific circumstances and needs.
Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream:
The TRT stream is for workers who have held a Subclass 457 or 482 visa for at least three years while working for their nominating employer who now wants to offer them a permanent position. Applicants must meet the age, skills, and English language requirements. This stream supports businesses retaining skilled employees already contributing to their operations.
Direct Entry (DE) Stream:
The DE stream is for applicants who have never worked in Australia or only worked briefly. Applicants must have their skills assessed by the relevant authority, have at least three years of relevant work experience, and meet age and English proficiency requirements. This stream is suitable for businesses looking to address skill shortages by hiring highly skilled workers directly from overseas.
Labour Agreement Stream:
The Labour Agreement stream is for employers who have a labour agreement with the Australian Government. This stream caters to scenarios where standard visa programs are not applicable, allowing for both temporary and permanent entry under specified terms in the agreement.
Eligibility and Requirements:
Eligibility for the Subclass 186 Visa depends on several factors, including nomination by an approved Australian employer, occupation listed on the relevant skilled occupation list, and meeting health and character requirements. Each stream has specific criteria reflecting the visa’s flexibility in addressing different labor market needs.
Why Choose the Subclass 186 Visa?
The Subclass 186 Visa offers numerous benefits for both employers and employees. For businesses, it provides a solution to skill shortages, enhancing operational capacity and competitiveness by securing permanent skilled workers. For overseas workers, it offers an opportunity for permanent residency, enabling them to live and work in Australia permanently.
Application Process:
The application process for a Subclass 186 Visa involves two stages: nomination by an approved Australian employer and the visa application by the nominated individual. This structured process ensures that both the employer and the employee meet the Australian Government’s requirements, facilitating a smooth transition for workers moving to Australia.
The Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme Visa is an integral part of Australia’s immigration framework, supporting businesses in sectors with genuine skill shortages and providing permanent residency opportunities for skilled workers from around the world. Whether you’re an employer looking to sponsor an overseas worker or an individual seeking to make Australia your permanent home, the Subclass 186 Visa offers a reliable pathway to achieve your goals.
