The following email has been received from the NSW State Government this morning:
NSW has been provided a limited number of interim nomination places for the 2020–21 financial year.
Because our nomination places are limited, we have made some temporary adjustments to our application process. These adjustments will be reviewed if more nomination places are provided to us later in the financial year.
Business and investor visas
We will nominate potential business and investor applicants by invitation only.
To be considered for NSW nomination for the subclass 188 visa, ensure you have a valid EOI in SkillSelect selecting ‘NSW’ as your preferred state.
Skilled visas
Invitation rounds will commence shortly for subclass 190 visa nomination. In line with Home Affairs’ direction, we will only invite applicants in selected health, ICT and engineering occupations, and who currently reside in NSW.
Please visit our subclass 190 visa website for information about eligibility for NSW nomination.
All on-hand subclass 491 visa applicants will be advised of their outcomes by email shortly.
For all visa subclasses, you do not need to submit a new EOI in SkillSelect if your current EOI is valid.
