Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa

The Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa gives permanent residence to skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory. If your occupation is in demand where you plan to settle, this can be a strong pathway. We help you identify the states where your profile is most competitive, prepare the evidence their criteria require, and lodge a complete application.

Who this visa is for

At the time you're invited to apply, you generally need to:

• Be under 45 years of age
• Nominate an occupation on the applicable skilled occupation lists for this visa
• Have a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority
• Have at least competent English
• Score at least 65 on the points test
• Be nominated by an Australian state or territory government

How the application works

1. Eligibility assessment. We review your occupation, skills, experience and English, and consider which states best fit your profile.
2. Skills assessment. We lodge your application with the correct assessing authority.
3. Expression of Interest. We prepare your EOI and record your preferred state or territory (or make you available to all).
4. State/territory nomination. We prepare the evidence each state requires. Criteria vary by state, change over time, and generally include a commitment to settle in that state for at least two years. Nomination decisions rest entirely with the state or territory.
5. Visa application. If nominated and invited, we lodge your complete application within the required timeframe.

State criteria and occupation lists change regularly, and nomination isn't guaranteed — our role is to position your application where it is genuinely most competitive and to present it properly.
