Skilled Nominated Visa

The Skilled Nominated Visa is for individuals who have the skills, experience and qualifications required to fill Australia’s labour shortage.

This visa is a permanent work visa, and suitable applicants must ensure that their occupation is listed on the Medium And Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MTLSSL). This visa is ideal for those who have the same skills needed for a Skilled Independent Visa, but are not able to meet the pass mark.

Alternatively, this visa is also available to applicants who are able to pass for the Skilled Independent Visa but would like to have priority processing after being offered sponsorship from a participating state or territory.

To be sponsored by a State or Territory government, you must meet the specific requirements set by that particular State/Territory.

Basic Requirements

  • must score a minimum of 65 points on the points assessment
  • must be under 45 years of age
  • must have experience for an occupation on the MLTSSL
  • must meet health and character requirements



You must also submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the online system called “SkillSelect.” Once you’ve submitted an EOI, Australian Employers, State and Territory Governments can view your details, and if they want to hire you, they’ll extend an invitation for you to lodge a visa application.

If you receive an invitation to apply for a visa, there will be a limited timeframe to submit a complete visa application with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

If you are granted a Skilled Nominated visa, you will become a permanent resident of Australia, where you will be permitted to live, work and study in Australia permanently. You will also be able to access Government-Subsidised healthcare (Medicare), some social security benefits and apply for Australian Citizenship.
