186 Visa Processing Time in Australia: Complete Guide

注意：TSS 簽證現已由 Skills in Demand 簽證取代。在此瞭解更多資訊。

‍

The Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (186) (‘ENS’) offers skilled workers a pathway to permanent residency in Australia, whether as current subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa holders or highly skilled individuals new to the TSS program. Divided into three streams - Temporary Residence Transition (TRT), Direct Entry (DE), and Labour Agreement), the 186 visa provides permanent residency and indefinite stay. TRT stream applicants must have worked with their employer for a minimum of two years on a TSS visa, while DE stream applicants require a positive skills assessment and three years of relevant work experience. Australian Migration Lawyers can assist with the nomination process and visa application, ensuring all necessary documents are submitted for a successful outcome.

澳大利亚 186 个签证的办理时间

由于多种因素的影响，签证的处理时间变化很大，因此很难准确预测。影响时间的因素包括申请的质量和复杂程度以及内政部的工作量。利用内政部网站上的计算工具可以深入了解情况，尽管处理时间可能会随着时间的推移而发生变化。目前，不同申请流的处理时间如下：

雇主提名计划（186 子类别）协议途径：

• 50% 的申請可在 5 個月內完成處理，而 90% 的申請可在 9 個月內完成處理。

雇主提名计划（186 子类别）直接入境途径：

• 50% 的申請可在 12 個月內完成處理，而 90% 的申請可在 18 個月內完成處理。

雇主提名计划（186 子类别）过渡途径：

• 50% 的申請在 14 個月內完成處理，而 90% 的申請在 18 個月內完成處理。

Key points

• Throughout the visa processing period, you can monitor your application's status via your ImmiAccount portal and opt to receive email/SMS notifications for any updates.
• Occasionally, the Department may request additional information, and a timely response with all required documents is crucial for a favourable outcome.
• Once your application is assessed, you will receive notification of the decision. If successful, you will be granted permanent residence in Australia under the Employer Nomination Scheme 186 visa, with specific conditions outlined in your ImmiAccount.
• In the event of a refusal, appeal avenues through Australia’s Administrative Review Tribunal or the Federal Court may be available.

2024 年部门变动

努力缩短签证处理时间已被列为 2024 年的优先事项，其中特别强调了招聘工作，以加强部门资源。我们的目标是在维护计划完整性的同时，简化申请处理流程。这些举措已经减少了签证申请的积压。特别是在临时签证类别方面，处理时间明显缩短。

然而，某些签证计划，如技术移民（永久）类别，由于旧案积压，处理时间仍然较长。目前正在努力加快所有永久签证的处理速度，重点是处理新的和现有的申请。随着旧申请的逐步解决，预计每月的处理时间会有波动。

影響處理時間的因素

澳大利亚 186 签证的审理时间会受到多种因素的影响。了解这些因素可以帮助申请人更好地预测和管理签证审理时间。这些因素包括签证申请的复杂程度和质量、内政部当前的工作量以及移民政策或程序的任何变化。此外，提交签证申请的具体流程（如直接入境途径、雇主提名计划或临时居留过渡）也会影响处理时间。此外，所提供文件的准确性和完整性，以及内政部对补充信息的任何要求，也会影响整体处理时间。

When dealing with a 186 visa application or appeal, it's vital to be aware of the stringent deadlines in place. Initial applications might contain errors that need rectification or require additional documentation. For instance, authorities may request additional proof, such as a further police clearance or medical examination. Failing to comply with these requests promptly could result in a visa denial. It's essential to maintain clear communication to ensure adherence to all Departmental requirements and enhance the chances of a favourable outcome.
