How does Victoria state nomination work for skilled migrants?
Victoria nominates skilled workers for the Subclass 190 (permanent residency) and Subclass 491 (regional pathway) visas through its own occupation list and eligibility criteria. Nomination adds 5 points (190) or 15 points (491) to your points score. Requirements and open occupations change throughout the year.
Can I get PR in Australia after studying in Melbourne?
Completing a degree in Melbourne can open pathways to permanent residency, but a Student Visa does not automatically lead to PR. Most graduates apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa (485) first, then transition through employer sponsorship or skilled migration. The steps depend on your occupation, points score and employer circumstances.
