Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190) Visa

The 190 visa is a points-based permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory government. This is a temporary and short-term visa for qualified and skilled workers who wish to live and work in regional Australia. Those with this visa can stay for up to 5 years, apply for permanent residence after 3 years, and apply for Australian citizenship. This visa cannot be extended.

However, you must qualify for this point-based 190 visa by having a relevant occupation on the skilled occupation (STSOL) list and satisfying the necessary skill levels specified to work in an eligible occupation in any designated region of Australia.

To be able to submit a valid application for this visa, you need to first submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect. You can do this in or outside Australia. If you are nominated by a state, territory, or relative and meet the basic requirements for this visa, you will then receive an invitation to apply.
