Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) / 186 visa

The ENS visa program allows employers to sponsor existing or potential employees for permanent residence. There are two streams under the ENS: Temporary Residence Transition stream and Direct Entry stream. The Direct Entry stream requires the employer/sponsor to nominate the employee for an  occupation that appears on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). Once the ENS nomination application has been lodged, a Subclass 186 visa application may then be lodged. 


ENS / 186 visa – Temporary Residence Transition stream


Under this stream, the applicant must have worked for the sponsor/employer for at least two years in the same occupation on a 482 visa. After two years of employment on a 482 visa, the sponsor may then nominate the employee for permanent residence.
 

General Requirements:


  • The applicant has worked in the nominated occupation for their sponsoring employer/s for at least 2 years while holding a 482 visa
  • At least competent English unless exempt (for example: IELTS test results of at least 6 in each component)
  • Under 45 years of age at time of lodgement


ENS / 186 visa – Direct Entry stream


Under this stream, the applicant does not have to work for the sponsor/employer for any specific period of time. The two stage employer nomination and 186 visa application also applies for the Direct Entry stream.
 

General Requirements:

  • Nominated for an occupation that appears on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL)
  • At least competent English unless exempt (for example: IELTS test results of at least 6 in each component)
  • Under 45 years of age at time of lodgement
  • Positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority. Assessing authorities are third parties that the government has designated to test skills. The complete list of assessing authorities for each occupation may be found on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) 
  • At least 3 years of relevant post-qualification work experience in the occupation 


The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) / 187 visa is only available for those applicants who already hold a temporary 457/482 work visa and have worked for their employer for at least 2 years.
