Immigration & Visa so far

The subclass 186 visa provides unconditional access to Australian permanent residency. Dependent family members may be included in this visa category. Holders have the right to live and work anywhere in Australia. Despite the fact that the visa is awarded based on specific skilled occupation competence, it does not require continued work in that occupation after acceptance.

The Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream and the Direct Entry (DE) Stream both have their own set of requirements. To apply through the TRT stream, you must have a subclass 457, 482, or similar bridging visa. Meanwhile, the DE stream allows applicants from both Australia and beyond.

To begin the application procedure, an employer nomination must be submitted on the candidate's behalf. This nomination describes the nominated occupation, employment terms, the financial feasibility of the nominating company, and the reason for the position's availability. The Skilling Australia Fund levy must also be submitted with the nomination. Following that, a visa application can be submitted. It is essential to meet the health and character requirements. It is necessary to have a decent English score (such as IELTS 6 or equivalent, unless exempt). This thorough pathway to permanent residency demonstrates Australia's commitment to qualified individuals while preserving their career options.

Reference and Informational Links

Employer Nomination Scheme visa (Subclass 186) offers three distinct streams:

Direct Entry Stream: 
This route requires a nomination from an Australian employer and a skilled occupation from the occupation list. If approved, you will be granted permanent residency in Australia, with direct entry from your home country.

Labour Agreement Stream: 
Designed for employers covered by a labour agreement, this stream requires employer nomination for a skilled occupation included on the skilled occupation list. You will be granted Australian permanent residency if your application is successful, allowing you to live and work in Australia for a longer period.

Temporary Residence Transition Stream: 
This stream is designed for individuals nominated by their employer and requires at least three years of full-time employment with the existing company. Employment under a 457, TSS, or other bridging visa is included. The 186 visa allows for permanent residency, allowing you to stay in Australia beyond your existing residence.
