Australia is a country of opportunity, drawing talented workers from all over the world to support its varied workforce and booming economy.

The Employer-Sponsored Visa (Subclass 186) is one of the most popular routes for people looking to settle permanently in Australia. 

This visa permits skilled people to live, work, and settle in Australia indefinitely in addition to providing permanent residency.

What is the Subclass 186 Visa?

For qualified workers sponsored by an Australian company, the Subclass 186 visa is a permanent resident visa. It falls under three streams and is a component of the 

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS):

  • Direct Entry Stream: This is for skilled workers who meet the qualifications. They must have good English skills and the right experience. They also need a recommendation from an Australian business
  • Temporary Residence Transition Stream: This is for temporary visa holders. They must be sponsored for permanent residency. They should have worked for their employer for at least three years.
  • Labour Agreement Stream: For employees who are sponsored by an employer and the Australian government under a labor agreement.

This visa is perfect for professionals who want a lasting career in Australia. It is for those who have the skills and knowledge needed in the job market.

Why Choose the Subclass 186 Visa?

  • Permanent Residency: You can live, work, and study in Australia for as long as you like with the Subclass 186 visa. The possibility to sponsor family members for permanent residency and access to Medicare, Australia's public healthcare system, are further benefits.
  • Pathway to Citizenship: Holders of Subclass 186 visas may be able to apply for Australian citizenship, which provides long-term security and a sense of belonging, after fulfilling residency criteria.
  • Employer-sponsored: To qualify for this visa, you must be nominated by an Australian employer who can attest to the value and demand of your abilities in the local labor market.
  • Flexibility for Families: You can apply for the visa with your spouse and dependant children included, allowing your whole family to establish themselves in Australia.

Key Requirements for the Subclass 186 Visa

To work in Australia, you need a nomination. This nomination must come from an approved Australian employer.

  • Skills and Qualifications: You must possess the abilities, credentials, and work history required for the position being nominated.
  • English Language Proficiency: Depending on the stream, you must be able to communicate in English.
  • Age Requirement: In general, candidates must be under 45, though there may be certain exceptions.
  • Health and Character Checks: To get the visa, you must meet specific health and character standards.
