Australia’s NSW to Now Consider Offshore Candidates Within Some ANZSCO Unit Groups

Australia’s New South Wales is the most cosmopolitan as well as the largest state in the country. An economic powerhouse, NSW boasts of a diverse population of over 8 million and has an economy larger than that of Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.

 

Under the annual Migration Program planning levels, the states and territories in Australia nominate highly-skilled professionals – in certain occupations – to help in driving economic growth in the Land Down Under.

 

Australia skilled migration visas that NSW nominates candidates for

New South Wales in Australia uses a selection-based invitation process for ensuring that candidates nominated by the state are as per the requirements of the local economy.

 

Do keep in mind that you cannot directly apply for NSW nomination. To be nominated by the state, you must first be invited by NSW to apply.

 

Invitations are sent out in invitation rounds held from time to time. While held on an ongoing basis throughout the financial year, invitations rounds are not announced beforehand and don’t follow a pre-determined schedule as such.

 

NSW nominates candidates for the following Australian skilled migration visas –

• Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190): For nominated skilled workers to work and live in Australia as permanent residents. 90% of the visa applications are processed within 18 months.
• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491): For skilled workers nominated by a state/territory government to work and live in regional Australia. 90% of the visa applications are processed within 9 months.

Other Australia visa pathways are also available for skilled professionals intending to migrate to NSW, such as – Global Talent Visa (subclass 858), Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494), and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186).

You must have – ·        continuously lived offshore for the past three months, and ·       a valid skills assessment for an occupation within a ANZSCO unit group that accepts offshore applicants.
