AUSTRALIA IMMIGRATION / LIVE & WORK
Live & Work Pathways.
Skilled migration pathways for professionals targeting permanent settlement across Australia.
01 / ELIGIBILITY FRAMEWORK
Core Eligibility Frameworks
01
Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent)
A points-tested, permanent residency visa that requires no state nomination or employer sponsorship. Candidates must clear the mandatory 65- point baseline to enter the pool.
02
Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated)
A premium PR stream that requires an official state or territory nomination, which automatically adds 5 bonus points to the applicant’s points balance.
03
Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Provisional)
A 5-year pathway for skilled workers that requires formal sponsorship by an Australian state/territory government or an eligible relative living in a designated regional area. This pathway grants an immediate, massive 15 bonus points to the applicant’s profile and provides a direct pathway to permanent residency after 3 years via the Subclass 191 visa.
02 / THE PROCESS
How the System Works
01
Skills Assessment Clearance
The applicant’s career profile and university credentials undergo a comprehensive review by a designated professional body (like ACS, VETASSESS, or Engineers Australia).
02
Expression of Interest (EOI) Lodgement
An active profile is submitted into the federal SkillSelect system, detailing your points metrics.
03
State Nomination / Regional Sponsorship Filing
For the Subclass 190 or Subclass 491 tracks, a separate application is filed with target regional governments or family sponsors to secure formal state sponsorship or regional nomination.
04
Visa Invitation & Lodgement
Upon clearing the competitive points cut-offs, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) issues an official invitation. The applicant then has 60 days to lodge their final visa application.
