Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

Secure State‐Sponsorship for Skilled Immigration

The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) provides a pathway for skilled professionals to live and work permanently in Australia, backed by nominations from a state or territory government. At Amar Immigration, we guide you through each step — from eligibility assessment to nomination, application and settlement.

Why the Subclass 190 Visa?

You gain permanent residency rights immediately upon visa grant: live, work and study anywhere in Australia, sponsor eligible family members, access Medicare.
State or territory nomination enhances your chances by signalling strong demand in the region you intend to settle.
You’re not tied to one employer; you can live and work in your nominated state or territory.
After meeting residence requirements, you may also pursue Australian citizenship.

Skill occupation: You must nominate an occupation on the relevant Skilled Occupation List and obtain a positive skills assessment in that occupation.
Point test: You must achieve at least 65 points under the Australian points test. Points are awarded for age, English language proficiency, skilled employment, education, etc.
State or territory nomination: A state or territory government must nominate you. Each jurisdiction has its own criteria and may require you to commit to live and work there.
Invitation to apply: After submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the SkillSelect system and being nominated, you will receive an invitation to lodge your visa application.
Health and character: You must meet health and character requirements set by the Australian Government.
Other requirements: You must be under the age of 45 at the time of invitation (in most cases) and meet any additional state-specific criteria.

How the Process Works

Initial consultation – At Amar Immigration we assess your eligibility: occupation match, skills assessment, points estimate and suitable states/territories.
Skills assessment – We guide you through your relevant assessing authority to obtain a positive result.
Expression of Interest (EOI) – We help you prepare and lodge your EOI in SkillSelect, selecting the states/territories where you wish to be nominated.
State nomination – With our assistance, you apply to the nominating state/territory for nomination. Once approved, you receive a nomination.
Invitation & visa application – After nomination you will receive an invitation to apply. We help compile your documents, lodge your Subclass 190 visa application and liaise with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf.
Grant & settlement – Once the visa is granted, we assist you with planning your move, understanding rights and obligations, and settling successfully in your chosen state.

Key Considerations

Each state/territory has unique nomination streams, quotas and priorities — selecting the right region and stream is critical.
Timeframes vary: from nomination to invitation and decision can take months.
Complying with the conditions: you may need to live and work in the nominating state for a certain period.
Change in circumstance: if your job, skills, or circumstances change after applying, this may affect your application.
