Subclass 190Skilled Nominated Visa
A permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory. Nomination adds 5 points to your SkillSelect score.
Overview
The Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) is a permanent visa for nominated skilled workers. Nomination by an Australian state or territory government adds 5 points to your SkillSelect score and can significantly increase your chances of receiving an invitation to apply.
Each state and territory has its own nomination criteria, occupation lists, and application requirements. Some states focus on regional occupations, others on specific industries such as healthcare, construction, or IT. F4MG analyses which state nomination is most suitable for your profile and occupation.
After receiving state nomination and a federal invitation via SkillSelect, you lodge your visa application and can live and work anywhere in Australia as a permanent resident, though you typically commit to living in the nominating state for at least 2 years.
