My desired occupation is listed on the QSOL, what next?

 

To be eligible for Queensland nomination, you must meet both the Business and Skilled Migration Queensland (BSMQ) criteria and the Australian Department of Home Affairs (DHA) criteria for your desired occupation and chosen visa category.

DHA criteria requires you to:

  • Possess a points-test result of 65 or higher, (including state nomination points);
  • Possess a positive skills assessment in your nominated occupation;
  • Be under 45 years of age;
  • Meet the minimum English language requirement of ‘Competent’ (Unless a higher level is required by your assessing authority); and
  • If invited to lodge application for a subclass 190, or subclass 489 visa, you will need to supply additional documents

BSMQ criteria requires you to:

  • have an occupation on the QSOL for applicants currently ‘Working in Queensland’ (onshore);
  • satisfy additional requirements necessary for certain occupations (further work experience, registration, higher points etc)
  • submit evidence that proves you have been employed full-time in your nominated occupation for the past six months;
  • if employed through a labour-hire company, submit relevant documentation of their Queensland registration, including overseas companies;
  • submit evidence of ongoing employment with a Queensland employer that is registered within Australia for a further 12 months;
  • be fully committed to working and living in Queensland for two years from visa grant.

 

I am eligible for the Queensland State Nomination, now how do I apply?

If you want to apply for the Queensland State Nomination, you must;

  1. Submit an expression of interest (EOI);
  2. Wait for the ITA (invitation to apply) from BSMQ to apply for state nomination
  3. Upload the documents that are required in the visa application form
  4. Submit all documents and pay application fee

 

Skilled Visa Nominations are now open with BSMQ accepting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the General Skilled Migration Program (GSM). Please note that failure to meet all the requirements listed above may mean your EOI is not considered. If you have any questions, or concerns regarding the Queensland Skilled Occupation List, or if you require assistance in processing your Skilled Visa Nomination, Results Migration are experts in the field and will be able to guide you through the visa process. If you wish to find out whether your desired occupation is available on a subclass 190 visa, or a subclass 149 visa, or if you want to know if you have satisfied the additional requirements for the position, give Results Migration a call on 1800 808 717 for your free consultation today!
