About the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa
The Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa is a permanent residency visa designed for highly skilled professionals who want to live and work in Australia. Applicants must receive a nomination from a State or Territory government, and their occupation must be listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). This points-based visa ensures that individuals with in-demand skills can contribute effectively to Australia’s workforce.
Once granted, the Subclass 190 visa allows holders to live and work anywhere in Australia indefinitely, enjoy access to Medicare for healthcare, and include eligible family members in their application. Visa holders can travel in and out of Australia for five years from the date of grant and are also eligible to apply for Australian citizenship once residency requirements are fulfilled. This visa provides a stable pathway for skilled professionals and their families to settle permanently in Australia.
Eligibility for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa
To be eligible for Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa, applicants must meet specific criteria across several areas, including points-based requirements, skills assessment, and visa application conditions. Each of these components ensures that applicants are capable of contributing effectively to the Australian workforce and society.
1. Points Test (Applicant Requirements): Applicants must achieve the minimum points threshold in SkillSelect to qualify. Points are awarded based on several key factors, including:
- The applicant must have been invited, in writing, by the Minister
- Age at the time of invitation
- English language proficiency
- Skilled employment experience
- Educational qualifications
- Regional work experience or specialist skills (if applicable)
2. Skill Assessment (Occupation Requirements): A positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority is required for the nominated occupation. The occupation must be listed on either the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). This ensures that applicants possess the qualifications and expertise necessary for their chosen field.
3. Visa Application (Applicant Requirements): Applicants must also satisfy additional visa application requirements, including:
- A valid passport
- Health and character requirements
- Compliance with the Australian values statement
- Submission of all required documents, such as police certificates and evidence of English proficiency
- Proof of qualifications, licensing, or registration for the nominated occupation
- State or Territory nomination approval
- The applicant must have been invited, in writing, by the Minister
- The applicant must apply for that visa within the period stated in the invitation
Meeting all these eligibility criteria increases the likelihood of a successful Subclass 190 visa application and ensures that applicants are well-prepared to establish a permanent life in Australia.
