Due to the increasing difficulty of independent skilled immigrants, the consultation on employer guarantee is obviously on the rise. As an employer guaranteed permanent residence visa, visa 186 creates a separate migration path for graduates with professional experience and professional elites. Of course, meeting the requirements of this visa is not just a matter of scoring. What is needed is that both the employer and the applicant meet the relevant requirements of the nominated position.

 

186 visa can be divided into three categories: direct entry stream, temporary residence transition stream and labor agreement stream. They are direct application 186, temporary visa transition and labor agreement. The three categories are applicable to different applicants and have their respective application requirements. In the application process, the employer needs to submit the nomination of the employee first, and then submit the 186 visa.

 

Direct entry stream is applicable to those who have three years of full-time relevant work experience and have passed the full occupation assessment. The advantage of this category is that they can apply for permanent residence directly in one step, and can apply in China or abroad; TRT stream is applicable to those who have held 457 or 482 visa and have worked for the employer for 3 years (18 April) The 457 visa submitted or approved before 2017 needs to work for at least 2 years); the conditions of labor agreement stream application will be based on the labor agreement signed between the employer and the government, and there are separate treaties on language, occupational assessment and work experience.

 

The occupation list also has corresponding requirements for different categories. Direct entry stream requires the applicant's position in the medium and long-term list; TRT stream requires the applicant's position to be in the medium and long-term list, unless it is a 457 visa holder submitted or next approved before 18 April 2017; labor agreement stream also requires this requirement based on the signed labor agreement. In addition, the language requirements for the first two categories are consistent, which are equivalent to the IELTS four six level. For the labor agreement category, it needs to follow the specific requirements of the agreement, which is generally lower than the requirements of the first two categories.

 

For the application of 186 visa, several important assessment criteria include the authenticity of the position, the rationality of income, the employer's demand for the position, etc., which need detailed documents to elaborate, so that the visa officer can believe the authenticity of the position.

 

186 visa has the following advantages:

1. Overseas working experience can be used to meet the requirements;

2. Apply with family members;

3. After obtaining the visa, the residence requirements of the applicant are relaxed;

4. Visa holders are free to travel to and from Australia;

 

With the increasing difficulty of skilled immigrants, domestic and overseas applicants with corresponding working experience may wish to try employer sponsored immigration, which may be an unexpected shortcut.
