As per an update by Australia’s New South Wales, applications for subclass 188 visa nomination will be closing from 5pm [AEST] on May 31, 2021.
 

The NSW government has categorically stated, “We strongly encourage you to submit a complete application to ensure it can be finalised by 30 June 2021.”
 

This is for ensuring that all applications for NSW nomination submitted prior to this time can be processed before the implementation of changes by the Department of Home Affairs on July 1, 2021.
 

Business Innovation and Investment [Provisional] visa [subclass 188] allows an individual to —

·       undertake an entrepreneurial activity,

·       own as well as manage a business, or

·       conduct business and investment activity in Australia.
 

Under the SkillSelect invitation rounds – the most recent of them on April 21, 2021 – are held for Skilled Independent visa [subclass 189] and Skilled Work Regional [Provisional] visa [subclass 491 – family sponsored Australia visas.   On April 21, 2021, a total of 660 SkillSelect invitations were issued. Of these, while 500 invites were for subclass 189, another 160 invitations went out to candidates eligible for subclass 491.   These figures do not include the invitations issued for nominated visa subclasses by the different State and Territory Governments.   State and Territory Governments in Australia nominate individuals all through the month for specific points-tested visas. These include skilled migration as well as business innovation and investment visas.  

 

Previously, Australia’s NSW has updated the occupation list for subclass 190 and 491.
 

For March 2021 – under the 2021-2021 program year – NSW has issued the following nominations:
 

Visa Subclass Nominations by NSW in March 2021
Skilled Nominated visa [subclass 190] 205
Skilled Work Regional [provisional] visa [subclass 491] State and Territory Nominated 241
Business Innovation and Investment [provisional] visa [subclass 188] 296
Business Talent [Permanent] visa [subclass 132] <20
TOTAL 748


Note: The 2020-2021 program year runs from July 1, 2021 until the end of June 2021.
 

So far, in the 2020-2021 program year, NSW has issued a total of 1,503 nominations to those intending Australia immigration. The total nominations by State and Territory governments in Australia, on the other hand, have been 10,325.
