Skilled Nominated Work Visa (Subclass 190)

The skilled nominated work visa is intended for skilled workers in Australia. The subclass 190 visa is a point-based visa that requires at least 65 points. Permanent residence is granted after a person is granted a skilled nominated subclass by a state government and satisfies the eligibility conditions.

What Qualifications are Required for a Subclass 190 Visa?

Can Anyone Apply in Australia or Overseas?

Anyone can apply for this visa whether they are onshore or offshore. If he/she is onshore, he must hold a valid visa or a bridging visa A, B, or C before applying for this. He/she will be granted a bridging visa until the decision on the application is made, allowing him/her to remain in Australia until then.

Duration and Conditions

This is a five-year provisional visa that allows applicants and their dependents to live, work, and study in any rural or remote place. Depending on whether s/he is sponsored by a relative or by a state or territory government, the eligible geographic regions differ:

State or Territory Government: S/he can only live in a regional or low population growth area

Relative: S/He can live in a designated area

How do I Apply for a Skilled Nominated Work Visa (Subclass 190)?

Anyone interested in applying for this visa must first be invited by the Australian Government Department of Immigration. To be considered for an invitation, you must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), which explains how you fit the visa’s conditions.

Stage 1: Initial Eligibility

The first thing that you have to do is a preliminary check to see if you are eligible for this visa. This entails assessing your qualifications, job experience, English language proficiency, and other factors to determine whether you are likely to satisfy the necessary criteria.

Then find out which MLTSSL occupation(s) you are likely to be able to nominate as part of this first eligibility assessment, as well as whether or not you are possibly eligible for a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for that occupation.

Then, based on your capacity to fulfill the basic requirements that the Department of Immigration expects migrants to satisfy to qualify for an invitation to apply for this visa, we will give you detailed guidance.

Whether the Department of Immigration offers you an invitation will be determined by how your points test score compares to that of other candidates, as well as whether the Department of Immigration considers your specified occupation to be required in Australia.

Stage 2: Skills Assessment

You have to prepare your skills assessment application if your first evaluation indicates that you are eligible for a positive skills assessment and EOI. The Department of Immigration has designated assessing authority for each skilled occupation listed on the MLTSSL that may conduct skills assessments for that occupation.

The Department of Immigration will only accept a skills evaluation undertaken by the applicable assessing authority in support of an EOI. Our experienced professionals can provide you with a complete list of the information and papers you will need to back up your application. You can submit your application to the appropriate skills evaluating authority once you have given all of the relevant information, documents, report as well as the required assessment fee.

Stage 3: Expression Of Interest (EOI)

Prepare and submit your EOI once you have obtained a favorable skills evaluation from the skills evaluating authority. Although you do not need to provide supporting papers at this point, you must be able to demonstrate that the information provided in the EOI is accurate at the time you are invited to apply for the visa.

The Department of Immigration will then provide you a result and a points score, which will be used to rank you against other candidates who have submitted EOIs for this visa. Part of the rating is determined by whether or not your employment demands a skill that Australia requires at the time your EOI is evaluated. If your EOI is accepted, you will be asked to apply for a visa.

Note: An EOI is kept by the Department of Immigration for two years after it is submitted.
If any of your circumstances change during this period, you can amend your EOI (e.g. you obtain a new qualification or skills assessment). If your ranking changes during this two-year term, either due to your changing circumstances or Australia’s changing skill demands, you may be invited to apply for the visa at that time.

Stage 4: Visa Application

Once the Department of Immigration has invited you to apply for this visa, prepare and lodge your visa application, along with any supporting papers, within the timeframe indicated by the Department of Immigration.

This contains your skills evaluation, English language test results, qualifications, job references, and any other documents that are requested. You will be awarded a permanent visa if your visa application is accepted. When your visa is approved, you may be in Australia or abroad.
