Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

As an overseas skilled worker, if you are nominated by a state or government agency and meet the migration points test, welcome! We are here to help you move forward. The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) allows you to permanently live and work in Australia. This visa allows skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory to establish permanent residency in Australia.

The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) offers a pathway to permanent residency in Australia.

With this visa, individuals can stay in Australia indefinitely, work and study there, access Australia's public health care scheme (Medicare), and even sponsor their relatives to come to Australia.
The visa also allows for easy travel to and from Australia for five years. After meeting the necessary criteria, eligible individuals can apply for Australian citizenship.
It's important to note that newly arrived residents may have to wait before accessing certain Australian government payments and benefits. The visa is permanent, with a travel component that expires five years after the visa grant date.
Family members can be included in the application, subject to meeting health and character requirements.
Applicants must meet English competency requirements; additional costs may apply for health checks, police certificates, and biometrics. The processing times for the visa can vary due to individual circumstances, and a Resident Return Visa (RRV) may be required to re-enter Australia after five years as a permanent resident.
The visa will be digitally linked to the passport without a physical label on the passport.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Requirement: You must be under 45 years old when you receive an invitation to apply. You remain eligible to use if you turn 45 after receiving the invitation. However, you will not be considered if you turn 45 between submitting your EOI and accepting the invitation.

Points System:

The subclass 190 visa is points-based. Upon submitting your EOI in SkillSelect, you will receive an indicative points score. A score below 65 points will disqualify you from receiving an invitation.

Invitation Specifics:

If invited, your invitation will indicate the points score required for your application. This score may be higher than 65 based on your EOI claims. You must provide evidence supporting your claims at the time of application. Use the points calculator to assess your potential score.

Health Requirements

Australia enjoys some of the best health standards in the world, and the Australian Government invests a lot of effort to maintain these standards. Hence, visa applicants must meet specific health standards before granting the visa. Health is assessed as part of the visa application process. Sometimes, family members who won’t accompany you to Australia might still need health examinations. You might also only need some of the health examinations again if you had any in the last 12 months. Your referral letter will outline the specific examinations you need to complete.

Character Requirements

The applicant and family members aged 16 years and over who apply for the visa with you must meet the character requirements set by the Australian Government. It is essential that family members who are not coming to Australia also meet these requirements.

Debts to the Australian Government

If you or any family members (including those not applying with you) owe money to the Australian Government, you must have repaid the debt or arranged a repayment plan.

The applicant and their family members must obey the rules associated with the Skilled 190 visa.
