What's the difference between 186 and 187?

The differences between Australia 186 and 187 employer-sponsored immigrant permanent residence visas are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Basic application requirements: to apply for a 186 visa, you must be nominated by an Australian employer and be under 50 years old; Visa 187 is nominated by employers in remote areas of Australia, including all cities except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Newcastle. Other conditions are the same as visa 186.

2. Changing from temporary residence to permanent residence: 186 IELTS requires CET-4 or above. 5. No occupational assessment, but you need to hold a 457 visa for two years; 187 is the same as 186 in this respect.

3. Direct application for permanent residence: 186 visa requires applicants to have more than three years of work experience in Australia and must pass the occupational assessment. IELTS requires CET-4 or above; 187 visa does not require career assessment, and the language requirements are the same as 186.

4. Other features: 186 visa is located in a first-tier city, and only requires certain professional resumes. 187 is a remote area visa, so the workplace will be restricted.
