What Is Victoria’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program?
The Victoria Skilled Visa Nomination Program is a Victorian government initiative that allows skilled workers from Australia and other countries to seek state nomination for two categories of visas:
• A permanent visa that allows one to reside and work in Victoria is the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190).
• The skilled work regional (provisional) visa (subclass 491) is a five-year visa that offers a route to permanent residence after fulfilling employment and residential requirements in regional Victoria.
The goal of this initiative is to draw talent to fields that are vital to the economic and future growth of the state.
