Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190 Visa)
Get Nominated. Get Permanent Residency. Build Your Future in Australia.
The 190 Skilled Nominated Visa gives permanent residency to skilled workers who receive a nomination from an Australian state or territory government. This visa might be your ideal path to permanent residency if you have skills Australia needs, but your job doesn’t quite match the independent route.
Â
At Ezy Immigration, as a leading registered migration agents and australian migration agents, we support skilled professionals like you to obtain the subclass 190 visa and guide you through the whole process—from Expression of Interest (EOI) to final visa grant—without stress and with self-assurance.
What is the 190 Skilled Nominated Visa?
The subclass 190 visa caters to skilled workers with jobs on the Skilled Occupation List who get backing from an Australian state or territory. This visa grants you the right to settle and work anywhere in the state or territory that backs you.
Â
Unlike the 189 visa (which doesn’t need backing), the 190 visa suits people looking to up their odds by getting state support. It’s a points-based visa and you need to lodge an EOI through SkillSelect before you get asked to apply.
Â
The 190 visa stands out because it offers a direct route to settling for good, job rights, Medicare coverage, and a way to become an Australian citizen down the line.
Who is this 190 Skilled Nominated Visa for?
Are you a skilled worker aiming to settle in Australia? Do you have the flexibility to live in a specific state or territory? If so, the 190 visa might be just right for you.
Â
This visa works well for people whose job is needed in certain regions, or who can meet the exact requirements set by a state that wants to nominate them.
Key Features of the 190 Visa
Each person’s path differs, but here’s what the 190 visa offers:
Â
