What is a subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa?

The 189 visa is very similar to the subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, however the 189 does not share the 190’s requirement for a State or Territory nomination. Both visas are assessed on the basis of a points system, which is run through SkillSelect, and require you to wait for an invitation to apply. All applicants must also have their skills assessed by the relevant assessing authority.

An applicant does not need to be onshore in order to apply for this visa, which means that skilled workers can apply for the 189 visa as a way of directly applying to be a permanent resident in Australia. A 189 visa application can include members of the primary applicant’s family members, and will allow all secondary applicants the same benefits of permanent residency.

Eligibility criteria for a Skilled Independent visa in Australia

In order to be successful with an application for a subclass 189 visa, an applicant must fulfill the following requirements:

  • 您必須持有有效護照
  • You must be able to score a minimum of 65 points in SkillSelect
  • You must lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect, and be invited to apply for the visa

How the 189 Skilled Independent visa works

The subclass 189 visa can be applied for either onshore or offshore, and does not require you to have previously held an Australian visa or be nominated by an Australian business. The application process can be broken down into two main stages.

Stage 1: Expression of Interest through SkillSelect

The first stage involves lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect and waiting to receive an invitation to apply. The EOI involves a points based test, which takes into account factors such as your work experience, English language skills, qualifications and relationship status to give you a score. The minimum score to be eligible to apply for the 189 is 65, however a higher score will make you more competitive. 

第二階段:簽證申請

Once you receive an invitation to apply for the subclass 189 visa, you have 60 days to apply. You will receive a link in the invitation which will take you directly to an application in your Immi account. The visa application will require similar evidence as your EOI, and any claims made in the EOI reflected in the visa application.

常見問題

閱讀我們最常見的問題。

What is a skilled independent visa subclass 189?

A subclass 189 visa is a permanent visa for highly skilled applicants in occupations listed in the medium and long term occupation list. Invitations to apply for the visa are made on the basis of a points test and Expressions of Interest made in SkillSelect.

What is the difference between 189 and 190 skilled independent visa subclass?

The 189 is applied for independently, whereas the 190 requires a nomination from an Australian State or Territory government. Other key differences between the two include:

  • The 190 visa includes occupations on both the short and medium to long term skilled occupation lists, whereas the 189 is only available for the latter list
  • The 189 visa will require you to meet nomination requirements that differ between different States or Territories
  • You will need to be nominated by a State or Territory before you will receive an invitation to apply for the 190

Is 189 visa hard to get?

The 189 visa can be competitive, so it is important to ensure that you have a competitive points score. You can increase your points by getting a higher English test result or more work experience. You can update the details in an EOI at any time in order to increase your chances.

If you have a relatively high points score, and have selected an occupation that’s in high demand, there is a good chance that you will receive an invitation to apply. Once you receive the invitation, the application itself is not too difficult, as long as you are able to meet all the criteria.

How many points is the Skilled Independent visa subclass 189?

The minimum points score eligibility for the 189 visa is 65 points, however a higher score will make you more competitive and therefore more likely to receive an invitation.

How long is a 189 visa valid for?

The 189 visa is a permanent visa, which allows for an indefinite stay. The travel facility on the visa will originally be for a period of five years, however you can apply for a Resident Return visa after the five year period to extend the travel facility. You may also be eligible to become an Australian citizen subject to meeting the residency requirements,
