Australia offers a variety of skilled visas designed to attract talented individuals who can contribute to its economy. These visas fall under two broad categories: temporary and permanent residency (PR) visas, along with regional visas aimed at boosting population growth in specific areas. Let’s explore each type of skilled visa briefly.
a) Graduate Temporary 485 Visa
The Graduate Temporary (485) Visa allows recent international graduates from Australian educational institutions to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily. This visa is valid for between 18 months to 4 years, depending on the applicant’s qualifications. It provides a valuable opportunity for graduates to gain work experience in their field.
b) Recognised Graduate 476 Visa
The Recognised Graduate (476) Visa is for recent engineering graduates from selected universities worldwide. It allows them to live and work in Australia for up to 18 months. This visa provides a pathway for skilled engineers to gain international work experience and potentially transition to a permanent visa.
a) Skilled Independent Visa (189)
The Skilled Independent Visa (189) is a points-based visa for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, family member, or state/territory. It grants permanent residency, allowing individuals to live and work anywhere in Australia. Applicants must have skills in a high-demand occupation and meet the minimum points requirement based on factors like age, education, and work experience.
b) Skilled Nomination Visa (190)
The Skilled Nomination Visa (190) is a state or territory-nominated visa that grants permanent residency. Applicants must be nominated by an Australian state or territory and have skills in an occupation listed on the state’s Skilled Occupation List. The visa allows individuals to live and work in the nominating state for a specified period.
c) Skilled Regional Visa (887)
The Skilled Regional Visa (887) is for individuals who have lived and worked in a designated regional area of Australia on a previous skilled visa. This visa allows temporary visa holders to transition to permanent residency after meeting specific residency and work requirements in regional Australia.
d) Distinguished Talent Visa (124)
The Distinguished Talent Visa (124) is for individuals with an internationally recognized record of exceptional and outstanding achievement in a profession, sport, arts, or academia. This visa grants permanent residency to those who can demonstrate they will be an asset to Australia in their field.

a) 491 Visa
The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) 491 Visa is a points-tested visa for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory or sponsored by an eligible family member in a designated regional area. This visa is valid for 5 years and provides a pathway to permanent residency through the 191 Visa.
b) 191 Visa
The Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) 191 Visa allows holders of a 491 or 494 visa to apply for permanent residency after fulfilling certain requirements, such as living and working in a regional area for at least 3 years and meeting income thresholds. It is a key visa for those who want to settle permanently in regional Australia.
