This is a permanent residence visa for point-tested skilled workers who want to work and live in Australia. There are three subclasses in this type of visa.

  • Skilled-independent visa (subclass 189) - this a permanent visa option. The process involves
    • Achieving the pass mark set for the skilled migration point test
    • Lodging an expression of interest (EOI) through SkillSelect
    • Upon acceptance on the invitation, lodge an application within 60 days.
    • Age range has to be between 18 and 45 years
    • Passing a skills assessment for an occupation listed on the relevant skilled occupation list
    • Meet the English language, health and character requirements
  • Skilled nominated visa (subclass 190) – this a permanent visa that requires nomination by the government or state territory as a suitable candidate for an occupation listed on the skilled occupation list.
  • Skilled regional provisional visa (subclass 887) – this is a five year temporary visa for people who are ready to live and work in regional areas. One must work in the required region for 2 years and work full time there for one year before they can qualify for a skilled regional visa. However, a relative living in that region can also sponsor you.
