The Subclass 190 visa, also known as the Skilled Nominated visa, is a State or Territory nominated permanent residence visa.
In order to be able to apply for a 190 visa, you need to submit an EOI in SkillSelect and then wait to be invited to apply for State or Territory nomination. Submitting an EOI does not guarantee that you will be invited to apply for State or Territory nomination. Without a State or Territory nomination you cannot apply for a 190 visa. It’s a highly competitive process with no guaranteed outcome.
The 190 EOI application process is very similar to the 189 EOI application process, and it is at the EOI stage that you get the opportunity to say which States or Territories you seek nomination from.
If you are lucky enough to receive an invitation to apply for State or Territory nomination and your application is successful, you will receive an invitation to apply for a 190 visa.
