191 Skilled Regional Visa

191 Skilled Regional Visa 

The Australia Skilled Regional Visa (Subclass 191) is a pathway to permanent residency designed to encourage skilled workers to contribute to the growth and development of regional areas in Australia. It’s a transition from the temporary Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa, Subclass 491, which mandates a certain period of residence in a designated regional area.

To qualify for the Subclass 191 visa, applicants must have held a Subclass 491 or Subclass 494 visa for at least three years. During this time, they need to have abided by the conditions of their visa, including living, working, and studying in a designated regional area. Additionally, they must demonstrate sufficient taxable income for the specified period, meeting the minimum threshold.

Requirements For A Skilled Regional Visa (Subclass 191)

Applicants must also meet health and character requirements, as well as demonstrate a taxable income threshold for the specified period. Additionally, they should continue to fulfill the requirements of their original regional provisional visa.

The Subclass 191 visa provides a direct pathway to permanent residency, without the need for a separate application process. This is distinct from some other pathways that require two separate visa applications.

There are three main visa requirements for a 191 Skilled Regional Visa:

    • You must be holding an eligible 491 or 494 visa for at least 3 years and have complied with the conditions of that visa.
    • You must have a taxable income at or above a specific threshold for at least three years while holding your eligible visa.
