The ENS programme allows Australian employers to pick highly skilled people and nominate them for a permanent visa where they have not been able to fill the nominated position from within Australia.
There are two stages to this visa process: 1) the employer applies to DIAC and nominates the position and once approved, 2) the nominated worker applies for the visa and must satisfy the relevant criteria.
An applicant applying for this visa applicant does not have to satisfy the points test. The ENS visa can be applied for either offshore or in Australia if you currently hold an ‘acceptable visa’.
