The Skilled Nominated Subclass 190 visa is a permanent residency visa.
It requires the applicants for this visa subclass to meet the migration points test. In addition, the visa applicants will need to be nominated by an Australian state or Territory government before they can be invited to apply for this visa by the Department.
Subclass 190 applications (state sponsored) are currently only open to occupations listed in the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) with a limited number of interim allocation places.
In order to qualify for a Subclass 190 visa, you would need to:
Each state government publishes a list of occupations in short supply in their area. The lists are subject to continual change relevant to the needs of each state and territory.
The State Governments will usually request a two-year commitment of living and working in the nominated state or territory before the government considers nominating.
They may conduct an integrity check of continued residence for those who have been nominated for a subclass 190 visa.
If the state authority is not satisfied that the nominee is currently resident in the sponsored state, their 190 nomination may be withdrawn. If 190 nomination is withdrawn, the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) is unable to grant the visa.
