Australia has long been a dream destination for skilled workers seeking better opportunities, a high standard of living, and access to excellent healthcare and education.

Whether you're aiming to settle permanently or bring your family along on an Australia Tourist Visa, the country offers numerous pathways to fulfill your aspirations.

Among the most popular options for skilled migration are Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa) and Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa).

This guide will explore these pathways and how IRA Immigration can assist you in making the process seamless.

Understanding Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa)

Subclass 189 is a points-based visa designed for skilled workers who do not require sponsorship by an employer, state, or territory.

This visa offers permanent residency, allowing you to live and work anywhere in Australia.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. Skill Assessment: You must nominate an occupation listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and get a positive skills assessment.
2. Points Requirement: Achieve a minimum of 65 points based on age, education, work experience, and English proficiency.
3. Expression of Interest (EOI): Lodge an EOI through the SkillSelect system.
4. Invitation to Apply: Wait for an invitation from the Department of Home Affairs to submit your visa application.

Benefits of Subclass 189:

• No sponsorship required.
• Full permanent residency benefits, including access to healthcare and education.
• Freedom to live and work in any part of Australia.

Understanding Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa)

Subclass 190 is also a points-based visa but requires nomination by a state or territory government. It offers permanent residency with a condition to live and work in the nominating state for a specified period.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. Nomination: Secure a nomination from a participating state or territory.
2. Occupation List: Your occupation must be on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or a state-specific skilled occupation list.
3. Points Test: Score at least 65 points, with bonus points for state nomination.
4. Skill Assessment and EOI: Similar to Subclass 189, you must complete a skills assessment and lodge an EOI.

Benefits of Subclass 190:

• Extra points for state nomination increase your chances of selection.
• Permanent residency benefits.
• State-specific job opportunities and community support.
