The Tasmania State Nomination Program<\/b><\/span> is a migration pathway managed by the Tasmanian Government to attract skilled individuals who are prepared to build their long-term future in the state through work, study or community involvement. With a state nomination, eligible applicants may access additional points and gain the opportunity to lodge a Subclass 190<\/b><\/span> or 491<\/b><\/span> visa, significantly improving their chance of receiving an invitation.<\/p>

Each program year, Tasmania outlines its nomination settings based on local workforce priorities, identified skill shortages and broader economic planning. Several pathways are available \u2013 such as employment, graduate and exploratory options \u2013 and applicants are expected to meet Tasmania\u2019s criteria, which may include skilled occupations, ongoing employment, Tasmanian study history, English ability and a genuine intention to settle in the state. These requirements operate alongside the federal criteria for the relevant skilled visa subclasses.<\/p>

Once nominated, applicants can proceed to submit their visa application to the Australian Government. A state nomination confirms Tasmania\u2019s support for the applicant\u2019s skills and contribution, but the ultimate visa decision is made by the Department of Home Affairs<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>

Tasmania\u2019s nomination program provides more skilled individuals with a viable route to remain in the state while helping local industries address critical workforce needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
