The Permanent Residency visa for Australia requires nomination by the government of an Australian state or territory. This visa option is designed for skilled workers seeking to live and work in regional Australia. It grants a temporary stay for up to five years and allows applicants to apply for permanent residency after three years. It’s important to note that this visa cannot be extended.

To be eligible for this visa, you must first submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect. This can be done from both inside and outside of Australia. If you are nominated by a state, territory, or a relative and meet the basic requirements for subclass 190 or a Skilled Nominated visa, you will receive an invitation to apply.

Benefits of Australia Skilled Immigration include the freedom to stay and travel anywhere in Australia, the opportunity to study and work in the country, access to Medicare (Australia’s health-related care and expenses scheme), the ability to sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residence, travel to and from Australia for five years, and the potential to apply for Australian citizenship, if eligible.

To qualify for a Subclass 190 visa, the following requirements must be met:

• Nomination by a State or Territory Government
• Meet the pass mark in the skilled migration points test (currently set at 60)
• Age between 18 and 49 (inclusive)
• Successful Skills Assessment in an occupation from the Skilled Occupations List
• Competent English language proficiency or higher
• Satisfy health and character requirements

The application process for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa is by invitation only. To be invited to apply, you must have worked in a nominated occupation listed on Australia’s Skilled Occupations List, undergo a skills evaluation with the relevant assessing authority for that occupation, and submit a letter of interest. Additionally, you should be between 18 and 45 years old at the time the invitation is issued and meet the general Skilled Migration requirements, which include English language proficiency, health, and character checks. A minimum score of 65 points on the points test is also necessary.
