Your Skills. Australia’s Opportunity. Start Your PR Journey Today.

If you’re a skilled professional with qualifications that match Australia’s state-specific occupation needs, the Skilled Nominated Subclass 190 Visa is your gateway to permanent residency. This visa requires a state or territory nomination but offers all the benefits of PR once granted.

What is the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)?

The skilled nominated subclass 190 visa is a points-tested permanent residency visa designed for qualified professionals who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. Unlike the Subclass 189 visa, this one requires a formal nomination but provides a faster and often more accessible route to Australian PR for in-demand occupations.
With the Subclass 190 visa, you can live and work anywhere in the nominating state and bring your eligible family members along. It’s a strategic option for those who may not meet the cutoff for the independent pathway but have high-demand skills in a specific region.
