Frequently Asked Questions
To increase your chances, focus on:
- Maximising your points score by improving English proficiency, gaining more skilled work experience, or completing additional qualifications.
- Consider state or territory nominations for the 190 visa — this boosts your points and gives you a higher chance of getting invited.If you’re considering the 491 visa, aim for work experience in regional areas, as this can make you more competitive and may lead to preference by the state, but it does not fetch additional points for your PR pathway.
- Book a consultation to assess your current points and discuss tailored strategies to improve your chances!
Yes, you can change your employer, but for the 190 visa, you must continue living and working in the nominated state or territory for the first two years. If you change your occupation, ensure that it is still on the MLTSSL or the state-specific list.
It’s important to consult with a migration agent to ensure that any job or occupation change doesn’t jeopardise your visa status or PR plans.
Yes, Can apply as long as the occupation is in the STSOL or ROL.
We can help you navigate the requirements and explore state or territory sponsorship opportunities to strengthen your PR pathway.
If you apply for the 491 visa and live in a regional area, you may need to continue living in that region for at least 3 years before applying for permanent residency under the 191 visa. If you move to a non-regional area before meeting the residency requirement, you might lose your pathway to PR.
While completing a Professional Year (PY) or achieving a NAATI certification isn’t mandatory, these can significantly help you in increasing your points score, especially for occupations related to engineering, IT, and accounting.Completing a PY or gaining language proficiency through NAATI will make you more competitive in the points test and help with PR pathways.
If you don’t receive an invitation because of a low points score, you can:
- Increase your points by improving your English language test score, gaining more work experience, or applying for a skills assessment in a different occupation.
- Consider applying for the 491 visa for more time to meet the requirements for 189 or 190.
