Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa Subclass 186

This visa is for skilled workers who are sponsored by an Australian company for a permanent stay in Australia. The applicant can be inside or outside of Australia at the time of application and at the time of grant.

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Subclass 494

This is a very popular visa pathway as it is exclusive for skilled workers who are sponsored by an Australian company that is located in a regional area of Australia. All of Northern Australia is considered as regional! The position needs to be approved by a Regional Certifying Body, but otherwise the skill level criteria are lower than for an ENS visa. The 494 visa is a visa with Permanent Residency pathway. The applicant can be inside or outside of Australia at the time of application and at the time of grant.
