Skilled visa options in Australia are designed for individuals who possess specific skills and qualifications that are in demand in the country. These visas aim to address skill shortages and contribute to Australia's economic growth. There are several skilled visa pathways, including the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
- Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): The Skilled Independent visa is a points-tested visa that allows skilled workers who meet the eligibility criteria to live and work in Australia permanently. To qualify for this visa, applicants must have an occupation listed on the relevant skilled occupation list, meet the points threshold in the SkillSelect system, and receive an invitation to apply from the Australian government.
- Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): The Skilled Nominated visa is also a points-tested visa that requires applicants to have an occupation on the skilled occupation list. In addition to meeting the points threshold, candidates must be nominated by an Australian state or territory government. This visa offers permanent residency and requires a commitment to live and work in the nominating state or territory for a specified period.
- Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): The Skilled Work Regional visa is a provisional visa designed for skilled workers who wish to live and work in designated regional areas of Australia. Applicants must have an occupation on the skilled occupation list, meet the points requirement, and either be nominated by a state or territory government or be sponsored by an eligible family member residing in a designated regional area. This visa provides a pathway to permanent residency through the Skilled Regional visa (subclass 191).
