Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189)

If you have skills that are in shortage in Australia, the Skilled Independent visa offers permanent residency with no sponsor required. Since this visa is designed to fill skill shortage areas, you will need to nominate an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list and pass a points test.

 

In 2017 the New Zealand Stream was introduced, creating an easier option for New Zealand Special Category
(Subclass 444) visa holders to obtain permanent residency.  Applicants need to meet residency and income requirements but can skip most of the usual Skilled visa requirements. Contact eVisas to check if you qualify.

 

Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)

This visa is the same as the subclass 189 but is nominated by an Australian State or Territory. Additional criteria for this visa include meeting the State or Territory requirements such as a nomination for an occupation on the relevant 
skilled occupation list.

 

Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491)

A Skilled Regional visa allows the holder to live and work in a specified regional area for up to 5 years. You will need to be nominated by either a State or Territory, or eligible relative who is an Australian Citizen, permanent resident or eligible NZ citizen. After holding this visa for two years you may qualify for permanent residency via a subclass 887 visa.
