Subclass 190 — State Nominated
A permanent visa for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government.
Overview
The Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) is a points-tested permanent visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. This visa is an excellent option for those who may not have enough points for a subclass 189 visa, as a state nomination provides an additional 5 points. I can help you secure a state nomination and navigate the subclass 190 visa application process.
To be eligible for a subclass 190 visa, you must have an occupation on the relevant state or territory's occupation list, have a positive skills assessment, and meet the points test. You must also commit to living and working in the nominating state or territory for at least two years.
I have extensive experience in dealing with all state and territory nomination programs and can provide you with expert advice on the best options for you. I will help you prepare a strong application for nomination and will guide you through the entire visa application process, from start to finish.
