Book a Free Consultation Employer Nominated Visa The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Subclass 186 Visa is a permanent residence visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian employer. At Maven Consulting Group Melbourne, we guide both employers and skilled professionals through every step of the process. Who Can Apply The Subclass 186 visa is ideal for: Skilled employees currently working in Australia on a temporary visa (e.g. Subclass 482) and seeking permanent residency. International professionals with in-demand expertise who have an Australian employer willing to sponsor them. Employers who need to fill critical roles when no suitable local candidates are available. Step-by-Step Process Direct Entry Stream For applicants with recognised skills and qualifications who may not have worked in Australia before. Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream For holders of a 457 or 482 visa who have worked for their sponsoring employer for the required period. Labour Agreement Stream For employees nominated under a formal labour agreement between their employer and the Australian Government. Eligibility Criteria To qualify, applicants generally must: Be nominated by an approved Australian employer. Have the relevant skills, qualifications, and at least three years of experience (varies by stream). Meet English language, health, and character requirements. \u00a0Employers must also satisfy labour market testing and sponsorship obligations. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Who can sponsor me for a 186 visa? Only an Australian business approved as a standard business sponsor can nominate you. The employer must demonstrate that they cannot fill the role with a suitably qualified Australian worker. How long does the application process take? Processing times vary based on the stream and individual circumstances, but on average it can range from 6 to 12 months. Providing complete and accurate documentation can help avoid delays. Can my family members be included? Yes. You can include your spouse\/partner and dependent children in the same application. They must also meet health and character requirements. What happens if I change employers during the process? If you change employers before your visa is granted, you will need a new nomination and may have to lodge a new visa application. Always consult a migration professional before making changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3315","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3315"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7605,"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3315\/revisions\/7605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mymavenedu.com\/melbourne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
