Employer Nomination Visa
The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186) is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who want to work in Australia under one of three streams:
- the Temporary Residence Transition stream: This stream
- the Direct Entry stream
- the Agreement stream.
There is a two-step process:
- Nomination Application: An approved Australian employer should make a nomination application.
- Visa Application: The employee will need to make a visa application under the nominated stream. The applicants may reside in or outside Australia when they apply. If the applicants are in Australia, they must hold a substantive visa or a bridging visa A, B or C.
The Temporary Residence Transition stream
This stream is for subclass 457 visa holders who have worked for two years in the same occupation with their nominating employer while holding a subclass 457 visa. The employer should have lodged a valid nomination under the Temporary Residence Transition stream, to offer a permanent position in that occupation.
The Direct Entry stream
The Direct Entry stream is for:
- skilled workers who have been nominated by their employer under the Direct Entry stream
- skilled workers who have never, or only briefly, worked in Australia, or
- temporary residents who do not qualify for the Temporary Residence Transition stream
The Agreement stream
The Agreement stream is for skilled workers sponsored by an employer through a labour agreement.
Employer Nomination Visa: To get this visa, you should:
- have been nominated by an approved Australian employer
- be younger than 50 years of age (unless you are exempt)
- meet the skills, qualifications and English language requirements (unless you are exempt)
- apply under the stream for which you were nominated.
