Australian Skilled Immigration Visa

Build Your Career In Australia

Australia offers skilled migration pathways for eligible professionals and workers who have qualifications, experience, and skills that match the country’s skilled occupation requirements. The main points-tested pathways include the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).

At Gloways Consulting, we help applicants understand their skilled migration options, assess their eligibility, prepare the required documentation, and navigate the Expression of Interest (EOI) and visa application process.

Australian Skilled Visa Categories

Skilled Independent Visa — Subclass 189

The subclass 189 is a points-tested permanent visa for invited skilled workers who meet the relevant eligibility requirements. Applicants do not require state or territory nomination and must have an eligible occupation, suitable skills assessment, and sufficient points to be considered for an invitation.

Skilled Nominated Visa — Subclass 190

The subclass 190 is a points-tested permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory government. Applicants must have an eligible occupation, suitable skills assessment, and meet the relevant points and nomination requirements.

Skilled Work Regional Visa — Subclass 491

The subclass 491 is a provisional skilled visa for eligible applicants who are nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible relative. It allows eligible skilled workers to live, work, and study in designated regional areas of Australia, subject to the visa conditions.   

Key Eligibility Requirements

Applicants for Australia’s points-tested skilled migration pathways generally need to meet several important requirements:

  • Age: Applicants generally need to be under 45 when invited to apply.
  • Eligible Occupation: Your nominated occupation must appear on the relevant skilled occupation list for the visa pathway.
  • Skills Assessment: A suitable skills assessment for the nominated occupation is required for the relevant skilled migration pathways.
  • English Language: Applicants may need to demonstrate the required level of English. Higher English proficiency can contribute additional points.
  • Points Test: Subclasses 189, 190, and 491 are points-tested pathways, with 65 points being the minimum threshold for invitation consideration; meeting 65 points does not guarantee an invitation.
  • Expression Of Interest: Applicants must submit an EOI through SkillSelect before they can be invited to apply for these visas.

Factors That Can Affect Your Points

Your points score can be influenced by factors such as age, English language proficiency, skilled employment experience, educational qualifications, Australian study, regional study, and partner skills, depending on the applicable points test.

How The Process Works

1. Eligibility Assessment

We review your age, education, occupation, work experience, English proficiency, and other relevant factors.

2. Skills Assessment

4. Expression Of Interest

You submit an EOI through SkillSelect with details of your qualifications, employment history, English results, and other relevant information.
