GENERAL SKILLED MIGRATION VISAS

Australia offers several skilled migration pathways for people whose occupations, qualifications and experience align with workforce needs. Skilled migration is not simply a points calculation. Occupation eligibility, skills assessment, English, age, state nomination, invitation settings and evidence all matter.

SJ Migration provides strategic, personalised migration services. Our team is here to help you identify realistic pathways and ensure that your application is prepared correctly from the very beginning.

Skilled Independent (Subclass 189)

A permanent residence pathway for eligible skilled workers who receive an invitation through SkillSelect. It does not require state or territory nomination or employer sponsorship.

Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190)

A permanent visa for eligible skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory government. Each jurisdiction can apply its own nomination criteria and priorities.

Skilled Work Regional (Subclass 491)

A provisional skilled visa for eligible applicants who are nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member in designated regional Australia.

Permanent Regional Pathway (Subclass 191)

Provides a permanent residence pathway for eligible holders of specified regional provisional visas who have lived and worked in designated regional areas.
