NSW- Australia has eased Nomination Criteria for Subclass 190 visa

New South Wales (NSW) - the key state of Australia has now eased the nomination criteria for Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190. NSW immigration has recently revealed this update.

The Federal Government of Australia provides the NSW Government a limited number of places for its state and territory nominated skilled, business innovation and investor visa subclasses. Find out more about this latest update.

NSW Nomination Criteria Relaxed

NSW Immigration has removed the earlier available points scores and work experience instructions for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) due to greater availability of the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) by DHA, Australia.

Considering the above relaxation in the nomination criteria, it’s the high time for the aspirants to apply for the NSW nomination for Subclass 190 visa. The Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190 is a permanent residence visa that allows the visa holder to live, work or study in Australia permanently.
