The Subclass 189 Visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, state, or family member. Applicants must have skills in an occupation on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List, meet points-based criteria, and be invited to apply through Skill Select.

The 189 Visa grants permanent residency, allowing holders to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia. It also provides access to public healthcare, the ability to sponsor eligible relatives, and a pathway to Australian citizenship.

The process involves submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect. Eligible candidates with competitive points are invited to apply for the visa. Once invited, applicants have 60 days to submit a complete application.

Skill Select is an online system used by the Australian Government to manage skilled visa applications. Candidates submit an EOI in SkillSelect, which ranks them based on points, and the highest-ranking candidates receive invitations to apply for the 189 Visa.

Points are awarded based on factors like age, English language proficiency, skilled work experience, and education. To qualify, candidates must score at least 65 points. A higher score increases the likelihood of receiving an invitation.

Applicants can improve their score by achieving higher English test results, gaining additional work experience, completing Australian education qualifications, or having a skilled spouse/partner who meets specific criteria.

Yes, applicants must obtain a positive skills assessment for their occupation from the relevant assessing authority. The skills assessment confirms that the applicant’s qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards for the occupation.

Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency by taking an approved test (e.g., IELTS, PTE, TOEFL). Higher scores can earn additional points, and applicants from certain countries may not need to prove proficiency if they meet specified criteria.

No, a job offer is not required for the 189 Visa. This visa is independent, meaning candidates qualify based on their skills, education, and experience, without employer sponsorship.

Processing times can vary, but the 189 Visa typically takes between 8 to 12 months after submitting the complete application. Factors like demand, complexity, and completeness of the application can affect the processing time.

Essential documents include a valid passport, skills assessment, English language test results, work experience letters, education certificates, and police clearance certificates. Medical exams are also required as part of the process.

Yes, applicants can include their spouse or de facto partner, dependent children, and other eligible dependents in their 189 Visa application. If approved, family members receive permanent residency status as well.

Yes, 189 Visa holders can live, work, and study anywhere in Australia. Unlike state-nominated visas, the 189 Visa does not restrict residency to a specific state or territory.

Yes, 189 Visa holders can apply for Australian citizenship once they meet residency requirements, usually after living in Australia for at least four years, with one year as a permanent resident.

If refused, applicants can review the refusal reasons and may be eligible to appeal the decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Alternatively, they may consider reapplying if they can address the issues in their application.
