Employer Nomination Scheme
The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186) offers two streams for skilled workers seeking permanent residency in Australia: the Transition (TRT) stream and the Direct Entry (DE) stream. These streams cater to different circumstances and pathways for obtaining permanent residency through employer sponsorship.
Transition (TRT) Stream:
The TRT stream is designed for temporary visa holders who have already been working for their employer in Australia for a specified period, typically under a subclass 457/482 visa.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be eligible for the TRT stream, applicants must have worked for their employer on a full-time basis in the same occupation for a certain period before applying.
Pathway to Permanent Residency:
The TRT stream provides a direct pathway to permanent residency for eligible temporary visa holders, allowing them to transition from temporary to permanent residency status without the need to undergo a skills assessment.
Direct Entry (DE) Stream:
The DE stream is generally for skilled workers who do not qualify for the TRT stream.
Eligibility Criteria:
DE stream applicants must undergo a formal skills assessment for their nominated occupation, demonstrating that they have the necessary skills and qualifications to perform the job.
Pathway to Permanent Residency:
Successful applicants under the DE stream are granted permanent residency, allowing them to live and work in Australia indefinitely.
