Employer Nomination: To be eligible for the ENS visa, you must be nominated by an approved employer in Australia. The employer must demonstrate a genuine need for your skills and must meet specific sponsorship and nomination requirements.
Occupational List: The ENS visa program is divided into two streams: the Temporary Residence Transition stream and the Direct Entry stream. Each stream has its own occupation list, specifying the eligible occupations for nomination.
Work Experience: Depending on the stream you apply under, you may be required to have a certain amount of work experience in your nominated occupation. This is typically assessed based on your past employment history and relevant qualifications.
English Language Proficiency: You may need to demonstrate your English language proficiency by providing evidence of achieving specified scores in an approved English language test, such as the IELTS or equivalent.
Permanent Residency: Once granted, the ENS visa allows you and your family members to live and work in Australia indefinitely. It also provides a pathway to Australian citizenship, subject to meeting the residency and other eligibility requirements.
