Employer Nominated Migration Visa - Subclass 856 (Onshore in Australia)
or Subclass 121 (Overseas application)

This is an employer sponsored visa, also referred to as the Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS). Permanent residents entering Australia under the Employer Nomination Scheme have a job waiting for them, or you can apply for this visa in Australia if you hold a Temporary Working Visa, Subclass 457 (there is an opportunity with some other temporary working visas too), a Working Holiday visa, or a Graduate Student (temporary) Visa. Your Australian employer is your sponsor.

Since July, 2005, this visa category has been considerably changed to encourage more skilled workers to enter this country. Australia is hungry for skilled workers, particularly those with trade skills.

An Australian employer pays AUD$350 to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Business Centre, as a nomination fee.

As the employee, your visa for this section will cost AUD$1,340 for application overseas, or AUD$1,990 if you are already here in Australia. This payment includes all family members in the application. Other costs will be immigrants’ medical assessments, skills assessment fee (if required), police clearance documents, translations if necessary, medical reports and photographs. These payments are not refundable if the application is unsuccessful.
