The Migration Queensland’s Skilled Program is designed to attract and retain highly skilled and educated professionals to the state. It provides the opportunity to apply for permanent residency in Queensland if certain eligibility requirements are met. This program is divided into two streams: the Skilled Nominated (190) visa, and the Skilled Regional (489) visa.
The Skilled Nominated (190) visa is for people who are nominated by the Queensland Government for their skills and qualifications that are in demand in the state. It requires applicants to live and work in Queensland for at least two years, and to have an occupation that is on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) for the state.

This visa requires applicants to live and work in the designated regional area for at least two years, and to have an occupation that is on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) for the state.
To be eligible for either of these visas, applicants must meet a range of general criteria, including age, language ability, and health requirements. They must also demonstrate that they have the appropriate qualifications and experience to work in the nominated occupation.
For those who are interested in applying for the program, there are a few key points to keep in mind. Firstly, applicants must meet the English language requirements as outlined by the Department of Home Affairs. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate that they have the skills and experience that are in demand in the Queensland labour market. Finally, applicants must prove that they have the financial means to support themselves while in the state.
