What Is the 186 ENS Visa?

The subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa allows Australian employers to sponsor highly talented workers for permanent residency. It addresses skill shortages by enabling businesses to recruit qualified professionals from overseas or transition existing temporary visa holders to permanent status.

The 186 ENS visa includes three streams:

  • Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) Stream: For holders of a subclass 482 visa who have worked for their sponsoring employer for at least two years.
  • Direct Entry Stream: For applicants who have never held a 482 visa, or have not worked for their employer for the required period, but who meet specific skills and qualifications criteria.
  • Labour Agreement Stream: For workers whose employer nominates them through an active labour agreement with the Australian Government.

Each stream carries its own eligibility criteria and documentation requirements. Our team at Align Law Immigration helps you identify the right pathway and prepares your application with precision.

What is the difference between the TRT and Direct Entry streams?

The Temporary Residence Transition stream is for applicants who already hold a subclass 482 visa and have worked for their nominating employer for at least two years. The Direct Entry stream covers applicants whose employer nominates them but who do not meet the TRT requirements. These applicants often need a skills assessment from a relevant assessing authority.
