Move from employer sponsorship to Australian permanent residency with a nomination strategy that is built properly from the start. Intel Migration helps employers and skilled workers align the role, salary, occupation, stream, evidence and visa timing before lodgement.
The 186 visa can look simple from the outside, but the correct stream changes the evidence, risks and timing. We separate the pathway before preparing documents so the nomination and visa application support each other.
Usually relevant for sponsored workers moving from a temporary employer sponsored visa to permanent residence with their employer. We review employment history, nominated occupation, duties, salary, contract terms and timing.
Home Affairs TRT stream guide ↗Often used where the applicant has the required skills pathway and the employer is ready to nominate for a permanent role. We check skills assessment needs, English, occupation alignment and position evidence.
Home Affairs Direct Entry guide ↗Used when nomination occurs under an approved labour agreement. The agreement terms can affect occupation, concessions, salary and criteria, so the application must be prepared around the agreement wording.
Home Affairs Labour Agreement guide ↗We bring the employer and applicant evidence together so the application reads as one clean, credible permanent residency case.
A strong 186 application is built around consistency. The business need, role duties, ANZSCO alignment, salary, employment contract, applicant skills and supporting documents should point to the same genuine permanent position.
We keep the work structured so the employer and applicant both know what is needed, what is missing, and what should be corrected before lodgement.
We confirm whether TRT, Direct Entry or Labour Agreement is the right strategic fit.
We map the employer evidence to the role, salary, duties and business need.
We prepare applicant documents for identity, skills, English, employment, family and checks.
We package the application clearly and assist with further information requests.
These official Home Affairs pages are useful starting points. We help interpret the rules against your actual employer, occupation and visa history.
