190 Skilled Nominated Visa

A Skilled Nominated Visa (190) is a points-tested visa and offers a permanent visa pathway for skilled workers who meet the minimum point requirement and have received State or Territory government nomination. The 190 Visa follows the same steps as the Skilled independent 189, however it has an additional step of obtaining state nomination.

Australian states and territories regularly nominate highly skilled people to move to Australia for work. The 190 Skilled Nominated Visa is an invitation and points based visa program. Successful applicants get to live permanently in Australia as they pursue work, study, and other endeavours.

For this visa, you can apply either onshore or offshore. On the day your visa is granted, you will automatically become a Permanent Resident of Australia. This permanent visa will allow you to live and work in Australia for an unspecified time. If eligible, you will be able to apply for Australian citizenship.

190 Skilled Nomination Visa - Steps

Meet all the eligibility requirements

Obtain a Skills Assessment

You must obtain a suitable Skills Assessment for your occupation. To do this you will need to submit your qualifications and evidence of professional experience with an authorised skills assessing authority. Your skills assessment will need to be obtained less than 3 years before the date of your invitation.

Submit an Expression of Interest through Skill Select

Once you are certain that you meet the eligibility criteria and that you hold at least 65 points, you will need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) with Skill Select. Once submitted your EOI will be seen by the Australian authorities as well as available to Australian employers seeking someone with your qualifications. Your EOI will remain valid for selection up to 2 years.

If your EOI is selected by the DHA you will be issued with an invitation to apply for your Skilled Nominated (190) visa application. The invitation with be based on the information contained in your EOI so it is critical that this is correct at the time that the invitation is issued.

When submitting your EOI you must indicate the states or territories that you want to consider for your nomination. You must also be sure that you will meet the nomination criteria for each state. All state and territory government agencies have their own criteria for deciding who they will nominate.

Receive and Accept State Nomination

If your EOI is selected by a state for nomination, that state or territory will inform you of your nomination and require you to agree to the state nomination requirements.

Apply for the Skilled Nomination Visa (subclass 190)

Within 60 days of receiving your invitation from Skills Select you will need to submit your 190 Visa Application with the DHA. It can take many months for the DHA to consider and grant your visa application.

On the day your visa is granted, you will automatically become a Permanent Resident of Australia. This permanent visa will allow you to live and work in Australia for an unspecified time. If eligible, you will be able to apply for Australian citizenship.
