Frequently Asked Questions

For most skilled workers, the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa or the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Direct Entry stream offer the most direct routes to permanent residency. For workers already in Australia on a 482 visa, the 186 TRT stream is available after 3 years.
Not necessarily. Points-tested visas (189, 190, 491) do not require a job offer. They are based on your skills and points score. Employer-sponsored visas (482, 186, 494) do require a sponsoring employer.
SkillSelect is the online platform where skilled workers submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). The Department invites the highest-scoring candidates in regular invitation rounds. F4MG manages your SkillSelect profile and monitors invitation rounds.
Eligible occupations are listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), and Regional Occupation List (ROL). F4MG identifies the correct list and ANZSCO code for your occupation.
