Employer Nomination Scheme

The Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) enables employers sponsor skilled workers from overseas to become permanent residents of Australia.

The 186 visa program has three streams.

  • The Temporary Residence Transition stream is for subclass 457 visa or 482 visa holders who have worked for their employer sponsor as the holder of a 457/482 visa for at least two years in the same position for their employer and the employer sponsor is willing to nominate them for a permanent position. 
  • The Direct Entry stream is for people who have never, or only briefly, worked in the Australian labour market.
  • The Agreement stream is for people sponsored by an employer through a labour agreement or regional migration agreement.

A 186 visa applicant can be in Australia or overseas when they apply. 

Each stream has different eligibility rules. Our team will be pleased to assess your eligibility to apply for a 186 visa. Why not give us a quick call on 08 9429 8860!
