Employer Sponosred Visa ~ Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme

This is a permanent residence visa for skilled workers. It allows sponsorship for employment in Australia under one of three streams:

  • Temporary Residence Transition Stream – for employees already holding a temporary work visa
  • Direct Entry Stream – for migrants seeking permanent residency from the outset, without first being a temporary resident, or who don’t qualify for the transition stream
  • Agreement Stream – applies to employees covered by a negotiated formal labour agreement
Get in touch

Temporary Residence Transition Stream

This stream may be available if your employer wishes to sponsor you for permanent residence.

You may be eligible under this stream if you hold either of the following:

  • Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) – in the medium-term stream unless transitional arrangements apply
  • Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) – not granted under labour agreement arrangements or,
  • Related associated Bridging visa and have worked for your employer full-time in Australia on your TSS and/or subclass 457 visa(s) for at least:
    • Three out of the previous four years (before the nomination is made) in the same position that they have nominated you for or,
    • Two out of the previous three years before the nomination is made, if transitional arrangements apply because you either held or were an applicant for, a subclass 457 visa (which was subsequently granted) on 18 April 2017.

Direct Entry Stream

The Direct Entry stream is for:

  • people who have been nominated by their employer under the Direct Entry stream
  • people who have never, or only briefly, worked in Australia, or
  • temporary residents who do not qualify for the Temporary Residence Transition stream

 

Agreement Stream

The Agreement stream is for people sponsored by an employer through a negotiated formal labour agreement.
