The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) enables Australian Corporates to sponsor highly skilled foreign workers for a permanent visa to fill skilled vacancies in their business. These skilled workers can be recruited either from overseas, or from people temporarily residing in Australia.
As a sponsoring employer, you must be lawfully operating in Australia and the position must provide full time employment in Australia for at least three years and meet the Minimum Salary Level.
Subclass 856 (onshore)
Visa applicants who are currently living and/or working in Australia on a qualifying visa can apply for the Onshore ENS (Subclass 856) visa. If you do not hold a qualifying visa, you may still be eligible to apply onshore if you last held a qualifying visa no more than 28 days prior to lodging an application.
Subclass 121 (offshore)
The Offshore ENS (Subclass 121) visa is for applicants who are outside Australia. Visa applicants who do not hold a qualifying visa can apply for the Offshore ENS (Subclass 121) visa and lodge their application in Australia, however applicants must be outside Australia at the time of visa grant.
