Skilled Nominated Subclass 190 Visa

A State or Territory Government must nominate an applicant for the permanent General Skilled Migration visa known as the Skilled Nominated Subclass 190.

SkillSelect Only Application

You must first submit an Expression of Interest via SkillSelect in order to be asked to apply for this visa by the Department of Immigration. Additionally, you need to submit the ROI or nomination application for nominating state.

After receiving an invitation to apply for a skilled visa, you have 60 days (about 2 months) to submit your application before the invitation expires. Therefore, it is crucial that you have the necessary papers ready to submit as soon as you receive the invitation.

To qualify for a Subclass 190 visa, applicant would need to:

• Submit an EOI and receive an invitation to apply.
• Possess a State or Territory Government nomination.

• Pass the skills assessment for a job on the list of State or Territorial Nominated Jobs.
• Have at least proficient English; 7 bands in each module.
• Meet the requirements for character and health.

Nomination by a State or Territory Government

A list of the professions in demand in each State and Territory is made public. There can be certain prerequisites for job experience, proficiency in the English language, or specialized abilities.

Do I Apply in Australia or Overseas?

When you apply for a Subclass 190 Visa, you may be in Australia or abroad. You would require a substantive visa or a bridging A, B, or C visa to lodge from within Australia. Once you submit your application from within Australia, you will be issued a bridging visa that will allow you to stay in the country while your visa is being processed.

You can include the following types of family members in your application:

• Spouse or de facto partner (including a spouse or partner of the same sex).
• Dependent children.

After the application has been submitted, partners and dependent children may be added.

Duration and Conditions

With this permanent visa, visitors have the freedom to live and work in Australia for as long as they like. The State or Territory that nominated you for the visa would typically expect you to live there for two years.

If you are outside of Australia when the visa is issued, you and your family members must arrive in Australia for the first time before your police and health clearances expire.
