Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186)
Brief Summary
The Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186) offers a permanent residence pathway for skilled workers from overseas who are nominated by an Australian employer. This visa is an essential component of Australia’s skilled migration program, designed to support the country’s economic growth by addressing critical skill shortages. This visa comes in three “flavours” or streams.
- Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream: for those who have been employed by their nominating employer for at least two years while holding a TSS visa sponsored by the same employer.
- Direct Entry (DE) Stream: for those who have either never worked for the nominating employer, or have worked but have not satisfied the time/visa held requirements. This stream requires three years of full-time experience in the occupation, which has to be on the eligible occupations list.
- Labour Agreement (LA) Stream: for those who are nominated by a Labour Agreement holder.
