@User - I have submitted an EOI for subclass 186. Mech Engr po ako but Im 44 yo na kaya medyo knapos na sa points for 189/190. May questions po ako at sana mapaliwanagan nyo ako dito.

(1) Ang status po ng EOI ko ay like below. Kailangan ko po ba na i click na ang "Apply Visa" button o kailangan muna may Employer job offer/nomination invite?

(2) Kung kailangan po ng employer job offer/nomination invite, saan po pwede mas madali makakuha?

Thanks

Bux · April 2017

Hello po sa inyong lahat! May tanong lang po sana ako if sino po nakakaalam if pwede po ba ako inominate ng employer ko 186 - Direct Entry stream or Agreement stream. I am currently on a student VISA. Maraming salamat po

epiboy99 · April 2017

@Bux It depends if there is a labor market agreement between your employer and DIBP. If wala, then you can go into the direct entry stream.

bikwinibottom · May 2017

Hi! I was just wondering pag dun sa agreement stream ba kelangan bang nasa sol or csol paden yung position na inooffer sayo ni employer? Thanks!

ohzie · April 2018

hi -

for 457 visa transition to 186 visa requirements, my employer sent me a list of all the requirements needed and a bit confused here "Police clearance certificate for any country lived for 12 months or more since the age of 16 (including Australia) (for each applicant)."

are they referring to Police clearance? or NBI clearance?

thank you

epiboy99 · April 2018

@ohzie hi. I submitted NBI clearance when I applied before. Good luck!

baxterexus · May 2018

people may idea ba kayu if pwede mag stat dec kung wlang police clearance galing saudi arabia medyo imposible na kasi makakuha ng police clearance gawa ng awol ako sa work

rgr · May 2018

25 Nov 2017 Visa application lodged.
3 Mar 2018 visa grant

Surprising kasi ang bilis.

epiboy99 · May 2018

@rgr that is good. Di kayo matagal naghintay for approval.

lawrence1227 · May 2018

Hi all,

Newbie here.

Hindi lang po ako familiar about visa in Aus.

Basically Im base in SG right now and company will be relocating me in Sydney.

Hindi pa namin na didiscuss about type of visa ang dapat iapply sakin. Since aware naman sila na gusto ko isama ang wife and mga anak ko.

Question is, ano visa dapat ibigay nila sakin And do I need to take IELTS?

Thank you!

epiboy99 · May 2018

@lawrence1227 usually, may mga migration agents na affiliated sa company that will facilitate the visa for transfers. You should talk to your employer. May mga underlying issues kasi like yung timeframe kung kailan yung expected nila na magstart ka working in Sydney. Tapos kung permanent basis din.

guboer · May 2018

Hello! Question po, meron po ba ditong under visa 186 na nagtransfer ng employer? So basically nagresign from previous employer na nagsponsor ng visa 186 then nag-apply sa iba? Would like to know if that is possible at kung may nakagawa na nun? Thanks in advance sa makakasagot.

baxterexus · June 2018

Meron po bang nurses dito na nag apply ng 186 visa?... share naman po ng experiences ninyo… gaano katagal processing atbp..

baxterexus · June 2018

@Bux karamihan ng employer padadaanin ka muna sa 457 or 482 bihira lang ang employer na ipapasok ka agad sa 186. depende sa skill set mo

Ace_Au · June 2018

Hi, im currently here in Ph and planning to return in brisbane this october to work, ask ko lang what do i need to do parama renew yung 186 ko. im migrating dependent last time im in Brisbane was march 2015 and nakalagay sa visa ko must not arrive on dec 4 2018. Salamat po!

dy3p · June 2018

Asking for a friend lang din regarding 186. Ang unang move ba dito eh from the applicant? or the employer. Unlike the 457 kasi, the employer first has to lodge a nomination to the state then once that's approved, pwede na magapply yung applicant ng 457. Same din po ba yun sa 186?

epiboy99 · June 2018

@dy3p Almost the same process. The employer must apply first for nomination approval. Once approved, pwede na mag apply ng 186 visa. Yung iba, sabay na nilolodge yung nomination and visa application or naglolodge na ng visa application while waiting for nomination approval.

dy3p · June 2018

@epiboy99 salamat boss! mukhang di alam nung company nila na ganon ang process. Parang they thought na maglelegwork muna yung employee tapos hihingian sila ng immi. Thanks ulit.

makarios · July 2018

Good day. Baguhan po. Meron na po ba natanggap as 186 direct entry? Trying to pursue 186 pero medyo complex ang application process (doing w/o an MA). Any thoughts po ay malaking tulong. Salamat!

buttercup · July 2018

Hi good day!

Question lang po, ano po ba difference ng 186 direct stream vs. 186 trt (temporary residence transition)

Kapag po ba may 482 ka na, pede ka sa either path ng direct stream or trt?

Thanks in advancw

iammaxwell1989 · October 2018

Hi guys, can you lodge your visa 186 DE application kahit hindi pa approved ang nomination? How long does Immi take to make a decision on the nomination?

Thank!

cms0911 · February 2019

@aanover @esmejeff @epiboy99 mga sir, congrats to your visa approval! Sana matulungan nyo ako for some tips as I plan to lodge for ENS186 visa.
May employer ako who is willing to nominate me via DE. Pero may valid tourist visa po kame ng family ko kase we usually visit for business or tour. 1year multiple entry kase so until the time na maglodge kame for ENS186 valid pa ung tourist visa.
1. Ok lang po ba un maglodge kahit may existing valid tourist visa? But we will be out of AU by the time na maglodge kame for ENS186 nasa Pinas na kame nun.
2. At what point po kame need magpamedical or kumuha ng insurance?
Family PR visa po ung plan namin i-lodge.
3. As per the Senior Management assessment for Managing Directors, no need na daw mag take ng english exam for assesment lang cguro po yun. Pero require padin po english exam pagmag submit na kme ng PR 186 visa right? Confirm ko lang sana. Thank you po sa mga sasagot.
Godbless you all!

epiboy99 · February 2019

@cms0911 1. Ok lang po ba un maglodge kahit may existing valid tourist visa? But we will be out of AU by the time na maglodge kame for ENS186 nasa Pinas na kame nun.

Yes it is okay. Wala naming problem. Once approved (your PR visa), it will replace your tourist visa (if still valid)

2. At what point po kame need magpamedical or kumuha ng insurance?
Family PR visa po ung plan namin i-lodge.

Based on my experience, I did the medical after I lodged the PR visa application. Sa insurance naman, once your PR is granted, you are eligible sa Medicare which you can apply once you and your family are here. Besides medicare, I have private health insurance with extras (for dental, optical, etc.) It is up to you if you want to have one but you must have a cover for ambulance. Merong mga forums dito na nagdidiscuss ng pros and cons of having private health insurance.

3. As per the Senior Management assessment for Managing Directors, no need na daw mag take ng english exam for assesment lang cguro po yun. Pero require padin po english exam pagmag submit na kme ng PR 186 visa right?

I did take the English exam (IElTS), pati yung wife ko nag IELTS din. I am not sure sa case mo kasi nasa Senior management ka. I applied under the university lecturer skill list.
Baka other members can comment. I applied May 2016, so baka may mga bagong process na for 186.
