Overview
The 190 Skilled Nominated Visa provides permanent residency to skilled workers who receive a nomination from an Australian state or territory government. This visa can be an ideal path to permanent residency if your job is on the Skilled Occupation List and you want state-backed endorsement.
At Ezy Immigration, as leading registered migration agents and Australian migration agents, we support skilled professionals to obtain the subclass 190 visa and guide you through the whole process—from Expression of Interest (EOI) to final visa grant—without stress and with confidence.
What is the 190 Skilled Nominated Visa?
The subclass 190 visa caters to skilled workers with jobs on the Skilled Occupation List who receive backing from an Australian state or territory. This visa grants you the right to settle and work anywhere in the state or territory that backs you. It is a points-based visa and requires lodging an EOI through SkillSelect before applying. The 190 visa offers a direct route to settling in Australia with job rights, Medicare, and a pathway to Australian citizenship.
