Duration: The visa can be granted for up to four years, depending on the occupation and the applicant’s circumstances.

Eligibility: Applicants must have a job offer from an approved Australian employer and meet the skill and qualification requirements for the nominated occupation, which must be listed on the relevant skills occupation list.

2. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)

Purpose: This is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.

Eligibility: Applicants must be nominated by an eligible employer and meet specific skill, qualification, and experience requirements. They typically need to be under 45 years old at the time of application.
