Tips from our migration consultant for you to receive a Subclass 186 visa faster

A Subclass 186 is considered phase 2 of a Subclass 482. However, there are 2 different streams in this visa. That’s why many people find it hard to choose which stream is suitable for them. In this article, our professional migration consultant will provide you with everything you need to know about a Subclass 186 visa.

 

 

What is a Subclass 186 visa?

This visa allows Australian business/organization/employers to nominate/sponsor suitable skilled workers from overseas to Australia to work for them.

Visa holders will become permanent residents immediately when the visa is granted. A Subclass 186 visa has 3 different streams including:

  • Direct Entry Stream.
  • Labour Agreement Stream.
  • Temporary Residence Transition Stream.
