Skilled Nominated Visa (Class SN, Subclass 190)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Skilled Nominated Visa is a points-tested permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by a state or territory government. It offers a pathway to permanent residency while allowing you to live and work in Australia indefinitely.<\/p>

The steps to achieving this are:<\/p>

  • Skills Assessment<\/strong> \u2013 you must first be assessed as qualified to perform the occupation. Each occupation has its own assessing authority who will assess your level of experience and qualifications. A positive result must be received before proceeding to the next step.<\/li>
  • Expression of Interest (\u2018EOI\u2019) + State\/Territory Nomination <\/strong>\u2013 an EOI is required for the Governments to select the top candidates in monthly rounds. They will pick the candidates with the most points to pass through to the next round.<\/li>
  • Visa Application<\/strong> \u2013 you can then lodge your visa application within 60 days of receiving an invitation<\/li><\/ul>

    You will need a minimum of 65 points to be invited however generally each occupation will have a different cut-off point depending on the demand of that occupation.<\/p>

    You can use the points table to calculate an estimate of the number of points you may be eligible for:<\/p>
