Subclass 186 is one of the best ways to migrate to Australia on a PR Visa. As a skilled individual, you can obtain permanent residency in Australia without much ado. There are two simple steps that you need to follow and a few requirements to meet. That’s all. So what are these steps and requirements? Let us explain you in brief:

The first step – Get nominated by an approved Australia employer. If you are already on Subclass 457 and have 2 years of experience in the nominated occupation, plus already been nominated under Temporary Residence Transition Stream, then applying under Permanent Employer Sponsored Visa Program becomes really simple.

The Second Step – Submit an application under the nominated stream from within or outside Australia. Having said that, you require a substantive visa to apply from within Australia.

Nevertheless, there are three streams under which an individual can apply for Australia Employer Nomination Transitional (Subclass 186):

• The Temporary Residence Transition Scheme
• The Direct Entry Scheme
• The Agreement Stream

One or all of the three streams can suit your profile. Talk to WWC experts to know which one it is. Or we can get your details assessed by our partnered registered migration agents for suitability for this subclass.

 

You might be able to get this visa if you:

• Have been nominated by an approved Australian employer within the six months before you apply.
• Are under the age of 50 at the time of application, unless you are exempt.
• Have the required skills and qualifications for the position (at time of application lodgement you must have the required skills and qualifications for the position you have been nominated for – you must hold any mandatory registration, license or professional membership, or you must already be fully assessed as suitable by the relevant body).
• Have the required skills and qualifications for the position.
• Have appropriate English language skills (at the time of application lodgement), unless you are exempt.
• Meet health and character requirements.
• Meet the requirements of the stream in which you apply for the visa.

Age requirements:

Even if you are older than 50 years of age, you can still apply for this visa if you:

• Are nominated as a senior academic by a university in Australia.
• Are nominated as a scientist, researcher or technical (scientific) specialist at ANZSCO skill level 1 or 2 by an Australian government scientific agency.
• Are nominated as a minister of religion by a religious institution.
• Are a medical practitioner who has been working for your nominating employer as the holder of a Subclass 457 visa or a Subclass 422 visa for at least four years immediately before applying, and the nominated position is located in regional Australia.
• Are a medical practitioner who has been working for your nominating employer as the holder of a Subclass 422 visa before becoming the holder of a Subclass 457 visa for two years in the four years immediately before applying, and the nominated position is in regional Australia.
• Are applying through the Direct Entry stream and you hold a Subclass 444 (New Zealand citizen) or Subclass 461 (New Zealand citizen’s family member) visa and you have been working for the employer who nominated you for at least two years in the last three years immediately before making the application.
• Are applying through the Temporary Residence Transition stream, and you have been working for your nominating employer as the holder of a Subclass 457 visa for at least four years immediately before applying, and that employer paid you at least as much as the Fair Work High Income Threshold in each of the four years.
• Are applying through the Agreement stream and the relevant labour agreement allows for a person who has turned 50 to be employed.

More information on these exemptions is in Classes of Persons (Exempt from the Age Criteria).

English language requirements:

You can show that your English is adequate by providing the following evidence at the time of application:

• Holding a valid passport issued by the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, New Zealand or the Republic of Ireland and evidence you are a citizen of that country.

You might not need to show adequate English language skills if you:

• Are to be employed by a religious institution and you were nominated as a minister of religion.
• Have nominated earnings at least equivalent to the current Australian Taxation Office top individual income tax rate (currently AUD 180 001), however if you are not able to demonstrate that you have functional English, you will be required to pay the second instalment of the visa application charge.
• Are applying through the Temporary Residence Transition stream and:
  • You have completed at least five years of full-time study in a secondary or higher education institution.
  • All of the tuition was delivered in English.

More information on these exemptions is in Classes of Persons (Exempt from the English Criteria).

Health requirements:

You must meet certain health requirements. The results of your health examinations are generally valid for 12 months.

This applies to all dependent family members included in your application, whether they are migrating or not.

You are able to organise your health examinations upfront before lodging a visa application.

Character requirements:

You must meet certain character requirements. You must provide a police certificate from each country you have lived in for 12 months or more during the past 10 years after you turned 16 years of age.

This also applies to all dependent family members in the application who are 16 years of age or older.

Temporary Residence Transition stream:

You might be able to get this visa under the Temporary Residence Transition stream if you:

• Hold a Temporary Work (Skilled) visa​​ (Subclass 457)
• Have at least vocational English (unless you are exempt from this requirement)
• Worked for two years in the same position your employer nominated you for while you held your subclass 457 visa as the primary visa holder, your employer has nominated you for a permanent position under this stream, and the nomination has been approved.

Your skills do not need to be assessed because you have already worked for your nominating employer for two years in Australia.

Direct Entry stream:

You might be able to get this visa under the Direct Entry stream if one of the following apply:

• you have been nominated for a position under this stream and that nomination has been approved.
• you have never, or only briefly, worked in Australia.
• you hold a Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) but do not qualify for the Temporary Residence Transition stream.
• you are applying directly from outside Australia.

At time of application lodgement, you must provide evidence with your online application that you:

• Have at least competent English (unless you are exempt from this requirement)
• Have at least three years of relevant work experience
• Have a positive valid skills assessment in your nominated occupation (the skill assessment must be conducted by the relevant assessing authority listed in the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL). Skills assessments obtained for a Subclass 485 visa will not be accepted as these types of skills assessments are not considered full skills assessments for permanent skilled migration purposes. A skills assessment is only valid until the expiry date specified on the assessment, or for a period of three years from the assessment’s date of issue, whichever occurs first.

You might not have to meet the skill assessment and work experience requirements if you:

• Were nominated as an academic by a university in Australia.
• Were nominated as a scientist, researcher or technical specialist at ANZSCO skill level 1 or 2 by an Australian government scientific agency.
• Were nominated as a minister of religion by a religious institution.
• Have nominated earnings at least equivalent to the Australian Taxation Office top individual income tax rate (currently AUD180 001).
• Are in Australia as the holder of a Special Category visa (subclass 444) or New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa (subclass 461) and have worked with your nominating employer in your nominated occupation for the past two years (not including any period of unpaid leave) in the three years before you apply for this visa.

More information about these exemptions is in Classes of Persons (Exempt from the Skill Criteria).

Agreement stream:

You might be able to get this visa under the Agreement stream if you are being sponsored by an employer through a labour agreement. Your employer can advise you if such an agreement is in place for your industry or occupation.

You must meet the age, skills and English language requirements stated in the agreement.
