New South Wales has introduced new requirement for its popular visa nomination for 190 and 491 subclasses. For migration program year 2022-23 candidates need minimum point scores on their EOI to be eligible for NSW state nomination. This is not the only requirement for NSW visa nomination eligibility, candidate must have minimum year of work experience in their nominated occupation. ‘To be eligible for NSW nomination you must meet the minimum point score AND minimum years of work experience in your occupation’s ANZSCO unit group,’ NSW government says.
Besides these two requirements there is one basic set of eligibility criteria such as meet all requirements for the visa subclass set by Department of Home Affairs, positive skill assessment, and NSW residency. [ads1]
