No. The 491 visa can be applied by applicants having an approved State Nomination to apply. Every State and Territory in Australia has their own Occupation lists with a list of professions that are in demand in their region. For anyone to be eligible for this visa, their occupation must be present on the list. Since every State and Territory requirements are different, it is advisable to check if you meet the requirements before you make an application for state nomination. If you arenâ€t eligible, your effort, time, and money will go waste. To get the information on occupations in demand for a particular state, speak to our 491 Visa Immigration Agent.
