3 Key Application Steps for NSW 190 State Nomination Visa

Step 2: Submit your EOI
If you meet all criteria, you can proceed to submit your EOI application in SkillSelect. During this step, it’s important to choose New South Wales as your preferred state and ensure all information is correct and up-to-date.
The NSW Government will assess your Expression of Interest (EOI) application, and if you meet the criteria, they will send an invitation to submit a state nomination application within 14 days. If the Department of Home Affairs decides you have met all requirements, you will be invited to apply for the 190 visa.
Step 3: Lodge your 190 Visa
After receiving the invitation, you can lodge your 190 Visa application through ImmiAccount. Ensure that all information and documents are up-to-date and accurate.
The Department of Home Affairs will then assess your 190 Visa application. Once granted, you can reside and work in New South Wales indefinitely.
