- 1 min read
If you’re planning to migrate to Australia as a skilled worker, two common permanent residency pathways are the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) and the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190). While both visas lead to Australian permanent residency, they have some key differences.
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)
The Subclass 189 visa is designed for skilled workers who do not require state or territory nomination.
Key features include:
✔ Permanent residency in Australia
✔ No state or territory nomination required
✔ Freedom to live and work anywhere in Australia
✔ Invitations are based on points score and occupation demand
Because this pathway is highly competitive, applicants often need higher points to receive an invitation.

Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)
The Subclass 190 visa requires nomination from an Australian state or territory government.
Key features include:
✔ Permanent residency in Australia
✔ State or territory nomination required
✔ Additional points awarded for nomination
✔ Applicants are generally expected to live and work in the nominating state for a period after arrival
