Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) (Points-tested stream)

Subclass 189 is a points-based visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia as permanent residents. Applicants are assessed based on several factors, such as:

  • age;
  • work experience;
  • educational qualifications;
  • English; and
  • suitable skills.

 EOI Before Course Completion

You may lodge an EOI before or after completing your course or program. However, if apply prior to completion, you cannot claim points for the Australian study requirement and the specialist education qualification (and regional study if you are in regional Australia). Nevertheless, you can still claim points for your English language ability, existing educational qualifications and skilled employment experience.) Alternatively, you may lodge an EOI after completing your course or program.

Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)

Subclass 190 is similar to subclass 189, with the addition of state nomination. This visa also requires you to submit an EOI where you will be able to claim state nomination points. You may be required to satisfy additional state nomination requirements, such as active residence in the relevant state or employment in the nominated occupation. https://www.arlaw.com.au/personal-migration/skilled-visas/

THIS VISA ALLOW YOU TO:

This visa provides the holder with Australian permanent residency with no conditions. The holder can live and work wherever they like in Australia. Although the visa is granted based on the holder being skilled in a specific occupation, once granted, the visa doesn’t require you to seek or maintain employment in this occupation.

TO APPLY FOR THE SUBCLASS 189 VISA:

To apply for this visa you must be qualified and under 45 years of age when you apply for this visa. Your nominated occupation, which fits your skills and qualifications, must be on the list of approved occupations for migration to Australia, which is adjusted by the Government from time to time. (Skilled Occupations List from DIBP) Before you apply for a visa you have to obtain a positive skills assessment by the relevant Australian skills assessing authority. You also have to show recent work experience for a period of time in your field, or in another field that is on the skilled occupation list. In addition you have to show threshold English and also meet the health, character and public interest requirements. To be granted this visa you must pass what is called the Points Test. Points are allocated for qualifications, age, English language ability, work experience, your spouse’s skills. Extra points are given to those applicants who have family in Australia, who have Australian qualifications or those with skills in demand.
