SUB CLASS 190

The skilled nominated visa is intended for skilled workers in Australia. The subclass 190 visa is a point-based visa that requires at least 65 points. Permanent residency is granted once a person receives a skilled nominated subclass from a state government and meets the eligibility criteria.

In order to obtain a skilled nominated work visa, eligible skilled occupation holders must also meet the requirements of other categories. It is critical to understand the distinction between a skilled nominated visa and a skilled independent visa. Continue reading to learn more about how a skilled nominated visa can be obtained.


The eligibility criteria for those who can apply for the subclass 190 visa are listed below.

After receiving a state nomination for visa subclass 190 for skilled workers, you must submit a set of documents within 60 days. There would be some documentation requirements prior to that as well.

The following is a list of all required documents.

  • Identification proof
  • A report from a recognised assessing authority assessing your skill
  • Your proof of age certificate, such as a passport or birth certificate
  • IELTS or PTE test results assessing your ability to communicate in English
  • Two recent colour passport photos in colour
  • A degree in education

State or territory government nomination

Each state and territory government has its own list of in-demand occupations in their area. There may be additional requirements based on your work experience, English language proficiency, or specialised skills.

Submit an expression of interest (EOI) with details about your nominated occupation, skills, and qualifications through Skill Select. Skill Select will calculate a points score for you; if you get a high enough score, Australian state and territory government agencies will be able to view your EOI and decide whether or not to nominate you.

You will be invited to apply for the visa if you are nominated by a state or territory agency. If you are invited, you will have 60 days to apply for a visa. Your visa application will then be processed by us.
