A 5-year provisional visa leading to permanent residence via the 191.
The subclass 491 is a provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by a state, or sponsored by an eligible relative, to live and work in regional Australia. After meeting income and residence conditions you can apply for the permanent 191.
Not for the points-tested independent (189) or state-nominated (190) visas. You need a positive skills assessment in an eligible occupation and a competitive points score. We assess your profile and recommend the strongest stream.
The minimum is 65, but in practice you need a competitive score because invitations are issued to the highest-ranked applicants. We help you identify legitimate ways to maximise your points.
