Applicants for the Subclass 186 visa must meet Australia’s English language requirements unless they qualify for an exemption. This usually involves providing results from approved English language tests such as IELTS or PTE. The required level of English ensures that applicants can work effectively, communicate clearly, and integrate into the Australian workplace. The English requirement may vary depending on the visa stream and applicant profile. Meeting the English requirement is a key part of the visa application process.
