Skilled Migration Pathways: Subclass 485, 189 and 190 Visas
At Aus Visa Solutions, we specialise in supporting individuals from around the globe to secure their future in Australia through skilled migration. Our expert team provides guidance and assistance with the Subclass 485, 189 and 190 visa pathways, helping clients to navigate eligibility requirements and settle confidently in Australia.

Subclass 485 – Temporary Graduate Visa.

General Eligibility
  • You must be under 35 years of age, with some exemptions under 50 years of age
  • Hold an eligible visa and have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution.
  • Meet the Australian study requirement (completing a CRICOS-registered course in Australia for at least two academic years).
  • Demonstrate English language proficiency.
  • Meet health and character requirements.

The Subclass 485 visa allows recent graduates to live, study and work in Australia temporarily after completing their studies.

Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa

General Eligibility
  • Be under 45 years of age at the time of invitation.
  • Have an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list.
  • Obtain a suitable skills assessment for your occupation.
  • Meet the required points score in the points test.
  • Lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) and receive an invitation to apply.
  • Demonstrate competent English language ability.
  • Meet health and character requirements.

The Subclass 189 visa is a permanent residency visa that does not require sponsorship by an employer or state/territory government.

Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa

General Eligibility
  • Be under 45 years of age at the time of invitation.
  • Have an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list.
  • Obtain a suitable skills assessment for your occupation.
  • Be nominated by an Australian state or territory government.
  • Meet the required points score in the points test.
  • Lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) and receive an invitation to apply.
  • Demonstrate competent English language ability.
  • Meet health and character requirements.

The Subclass 190 visa grants permanent residency, but applicants must be nominated by a state or territory government, which may have additional specific requirements.

Expression of Interest (EOI): How It Works

To be considered for a Subclass 189 or 190 visa, applicants must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system. The EOI is not a visa application but an indication of your interest in applying for a skilled visa. Based on your EOI, you may be invited to apply for a visa if you meet the points threshold and other relevant criteria. Invitations are issued periodically, and higher-ranked applicants are prioritised.
