VISA 186
Skilled Migration Program
Skilled worker permanent residency visa
OVERVIEW OF THE AUSTRALIAN PERMIT PROGRAM (VISA 186)
Visa 186 , also known as the Employer Nomination Scheme , is a permanent residency program for skilled workers sponsored by Australian businesses for long-term employment. Once the visa is approved, the worker and their family will be granted permanent residency in Australia.
This program allows international workers to move to Australia to live and work permanently through employer sponsorship. It is one of the popular pathways for skilled workers to establish a stable life in Australia and build a long-term career in a professional work environment.
After becoming a permanent resident, the applicant can live and work in Australia without visa restrictions. Accompanying family members also enjoy similar rights and can settle permanently in Australia.
The 186 visa is typically the next step for workers who have already worked in Australia on a skilled visa such as the 482 visa. In some cases, applicants may be nominated directly by a business overseas if they meet the professional and experience requirements.
