190 Skilled Nominated Visa

The Australia Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) offers skilled workers a route to permanent residency in Australia through nomination by a specific Australian state or territory government. This visa is designed to address specific skill shortages in these regions while providing skilled individuals with the opportunity to live and work in the area of their nomination.

To be eligible for the Subclass 190 visa, applicants need to meet the criteria set by the nominating state or territory. This typically involves having an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list, meeting specific work experience and skills requirements, and receiving a nomination from a state or territory government agency.

Requirements to Apply for the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

Like the Skilled Independent Visa, applicants for the Subclass 190 visa need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the SkillSelect system and then receive an invitation to apply. Successful candidates and their families can enjoy permanent residency status, enabling them to access healthcare, education, and social security benefits in Australia.

The Skilled Nominated Visa is a pathway that encourages settlement in specific regions of Australia while addressing their particular skill needs. It’s a strategic option for skilled individuals who have an interest in contributing to the growth and development of a particular state or territory and wish to establish their life in Australia on a permanent basis.
