What This Means for Applicants
If You Have Already Submitted an ROI
Based on the latest data, applicants with 51 points for Subclass 190 or 37 points for Subclass 491 under an orange pass are still being considered. So, if you can increase your points by improving your English score, gaining more skilled work experience, or adding a higher qualification, it can improve your chances of receiving an invitation.
If You Are Planning to Submit an ROI
Tasmania is still open for skilled nomination under both Subclass 190 and Subclass 491, and the number of ROIs is also not overly high. This shows that the state is continuing to invite skilled migrants.
To improve your chances, you should clearly show strong links to Tasmania, such as:
- Working for, or having a job offer from, a Tasmanian employer
- Completing studies in Tasmania
- Having close family members living in Tasmania
These factors significantly influence selection outcomes in Tasmania’s skilled migration program.
If You Have Received an Invitation
A total of 174 invitations issued to date (104 for Subclass 190 and 70 for Subclass 491) have not yet been converted into lodged applications. This highlights the importance of acting promptly once invited.
So, if you receive an invitation for state nomination, you have 28 days to log in to your Gateway account and submit your application.
