NSW relaxes visa conditions for Permanent Residency

By Harry Taruva

In a move set to benefit thousands of immigrants in Australia, the NSW government has amended visa conditions for applicants of skilled nominated visas (Subclass) 190 and replaced requirements related to work experience and minimum points scores.

Kwedu News can reveal that, In September, the NSW government released its skills lists after receiving just over 12,000 visa slots for its skilled migration program for the 2022-2023.

It further announced introducing new requirements for minimum point scores and years of work experience for both visas – Subclass 190 and Subclass 491.

However, according to an update issued by the state recently, these requirements have now been replaced for the Subclass visa 190.

The state government website’s latest updates say “Previously published points scores and work experience guides for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) have been removed due to increased availability of the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) by the Department of Home Affairs.”

It further notes that a selection-based invitation process is used to ensure that NSW nominees are in sync with the skills needs of the state’s economy.

“Nomination for this visa is exceptionally competitive. We strongly encourage you to consider all other migration pathways on the Home Affairs website and do not wait to be invited to apply for NSW nomination,” it said.

NSW nomination for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) is just one of a number of visa options for prospective skilled migrants for many years.

“We cannot advise the date of upcoming invitation rounds or the provide the likelihood your SkillSelect EOI will be invited to apply for nomination,” it notes.

“We generally consider such things as points score, English proficiency, and years of skilled experience during invitation rounds. Being invited to apply for NSW nomination is at the sole discretion of the NSW Government,” it adds.

For the Subclass 491 visa, minimum point scores and skilled experience are still mandatory.

“For the Subclass 491, minimum point scores and skilled experience still applies to anyone wishing to apply directly under Pathway 1 Stream B, however, the experience portion is waived for anyone who meets the ‘Study in Regional NSW’ requirement,”

NSW uses a selection-based invitation process to ensure that NSW nominees are aligned with the skills needs of the state’s economy.

The removal of the employment requirement and point scores for the Subclass 190 visa has been welcomed by migration experts.

A migration agent, Suman Dua, described the latest change as “big” and “good news.”

“The state’s visa condition of high point score system and employment requirement was making it harder for some applicants to fit into the eligibility criteria and apply for residency,” she pointed out.

The latest development should surely be welcome news to thousands of immigrants who have been having sleepless nights over their visa status.

  1. Hey there, I just found your site, quick question…

    My name’s Eric, I found hericommedia.com after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.

    So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?

    Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.

    That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.

    Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?

    Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.

    But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?

    You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.
