The Subclass 190 visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. This visa is ideal for individuals whose occupations are in demand within specific regions of Australia and who are willing to commit to living and working in that state or territory for at least two years.

Key Features of the Subclass 190 Visa:

• State or Territory Nomination Required:
  You must receive a formal nomination before you can be invited to apply. Each state/territory has its own occupation list, criteria, and application process.

• Points-Tested Stream:
  Applicants must score at least 65 points on the Department of Home Affairs’ points test; however, higher scores may improve your chances of receiving an invitation.

• Skilled Occupation List:
  Your occupation must be on the relevant list for the state/territory you are applying to.

• Permanent Residency:
  Successful applicants and their families can live, work, and study anywhere in the nominating state or territory.

• Medicare Access and Pathway to Citizenship:
  You will have access to Australia’s public healthcare system and may apply for citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
