Skilled Regional Provisional Visa - Subclass 489
Invited Pathway
If you don't have enough points to apply for permanent residence, this visa is an option. This four-year visa is for applicants who agree to live and work in regional areas of Australia. They must have qualifications suitable for occupations on the Medium to Long-term skill shortage list. After living in the local area for two years, and working in any job for twelve months, you may qualify for full permanent residency via the 187-visa pathway. Applicants must be nominated by a State or Territory Government or by an eligible Australian resident relative who lives in a Designated Area.
Extended Stay Pathway
This visa is for existing Australian residents who hold a subclass 475, 487, 495 or 496 visas and wish to live, work or study in a regional area. The 489 visa is valid for four years from the date their existing visa grants.
