Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186)

Introduction

The ENS Visa (Subclass 186) is a permanent residency visa designed for skilled workers who are nominated by an approved Australian employer. Whether you are already in Australia or living abroad, this visa enables you to live, work, and settle in the country permanently with your family.

It's an excellent option if you have job experience and qualifications relevant to occupations listed in Australia’s skilled list and have secured a full-time job offer from an eligible Australian employer.

Streams Under Subclass 186 Visa

• Direct Entry Stream: For applicants who are outside Australia or have limited Australian work experience. You’ll need at least three years of full-time work experience in the relevant field and skills assessment approval.
• Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream: For individuals who already hold a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and have worked for their employer in the same role for at least three years.
• Labour Agreement Stream: For applicants nominated under a Labour Agreement between an employer and the Australian Government. It’s often used in niche industries facing labor shortages.
