Candidates must also secure a nomination from an Australian state or territory. Afterward, they will receive an invitation from the DIBP to submit their application for the subclass 190 visa.

The Skilled State-Nominated (subclass 190) visa is ideal for candidates who are unable to meet the requirements for the Skilled Independent (subclass 189) visa due to specific reasons or who prefer a faster immigration process via state/territory sponsorship.

Candidates who have received a nomination from an Australian state or territory will be given preference over those who have applied under the Skilled Independent (subclass 189).
