Skilled program
The Skilled Migration Program is currently open.
For the 2021–22 Skilled Migration program year, Migration Queensland will remain open until the nomination allocation (quota) is filled. Over the Christmas period, applications will not be processed but the program will remain open.
For the Skilled Migration Program, Migration Queensland will only accept “decision-ready” applications. If an application is not complete or contains out-of-date documents, these applications will not be considered.
Due to the high demand, competitive nature and the limited nomination quota of the Queensland skilled migration program there is no guarantee you will be selected for state nomination, and you need to consider your alternative migration options.
Please see below for Queensland eligibility criteria on each skilled visa pathway:
- Queensland 190 visa requirements
- 491 visa criteria for Queensland
- 491 visa – Queensland Small Business Owners Pathway
- Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists (QSOL)
- State requirements for 190 visa
Please note: Applicants must meet all requirements at the time EOI is submitted.
