Live, Work & Settle in Australia with State Nomination

The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) is a permanent residency visa offered by the Australian government for qualified international skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. This visa is part of Australia’s point-based immigration system and is designed to address regional skill shortages across the country.

To apply for an Australian Skilled Migration Visa, candidates must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the official SkillSelect system. This is a points-tested system used to assess your eligibility before issuing an invitation to apply.

Minimum Points Requirement: 65

Applicants must score at least 65 points or more to be considered for invitation. These points are awarded based on several key factors, each contributing to your overall eligibility score.

Including Family Members in Your Visa Application

When applying for a visa, you can include your family members as part of your application. This ensures that your loved ones can accompany you and enjoy the benefits of living abroad together.

Who Can You Include?

• Spouse or Partner: Your legally married spouse or de facto partner.
• Dependent Children: Your children or your partner's children who are financially dependent on you.

When Can You Add Family Members?

• At the time of lodging your visa application:
  You can include your family members right from the start when you submit your application. This is the easiest way to ensure all applications are processed together.
• After lodging your application but before a decision is made:
  If you didn't include your family members initially, you can add them later — as long as the visa decision hasn't been finalized.

Character Requirements

• You and all family members aged 16 years or older who apply with you are required to meet Australia's character requirements. This is to ensure all entrants uphold the safety and security standards of the country.
• Family members who will not be accompanying you to Australia must also satisfy the character requirements if requested.
