Visa subclass 186 has three different streams, so choose which suits you best and matches your career goal:

• Direct Entry Stream: The direct entry stream is a pathway to migrate to Australia as a skilled worker and stay there forever. To be eligible for this one, you need get pass all of these requirements like a skill assessment test, a minimum of three years of experience in the selected profile after your education, and a good command of English. Your age should be 45 or under and an employer who agreed to nominate you for the profile as an employee in their company on a decent salary.
• Labor Agreement Stream: You can apply for this specific stream when you are nominated by an employer who comes under the Labor Agreement. This stream allows you to work and stay in Australia and employers who are involved in this are allowed to get an international worker when they are out of labor. This can also be an option when there are no other visas left for application.
• Temporary Residence Transition Stream:: The subclass 186 Visa, officially known as the Employer Nomination Scheme Visa, gives the right to permanently stay in Australia as skilled workers nominated by Australian employers. Among its three streams, this stream applies to those who have another visa but want to live in Australia permanently. In simple words, the Temporary Residence Transition Stream is for those people who already have a 482 employer-sponsored temporary visa for 2 years. This stream gives you a chance to stay with long-term employment relationships you have made to transition to permanent residency. It makes sure that you can continually work for the Australian workforce, as well as enjoy the rights and benefits of permanent residency.
