190 visa: NSW to stop inviting migrants from other states

But not all hopes are lost as New South Wales has left room for interpretation, says migration expert.

New South Wales has opened its skilled Nominated Visa (190) program for 2019-20 and has said it will not generally invite the candidates currently residing in other Australian states or territory.

released by the state government says, “Commencing January 2020, NSW will generally not invite candidates to apply for nomination by NSW for a Skilled Nominated Visa (190) if they are currently residing in another Australian state or territory.”

“This approach aims to preserve the program integrity of other Australian states and territories and deliver stronger program outcomes for NSW.”

This development could be disappointing for many, as NSW has often been an option for applicants living in other states.
