Hey guys, in this video I will be talking about Australian visa subclass 189, 190 and 489. These three are super important and it's very important to know about these three visas if you want to apply for permanent residency of Australia. I'll talk about the details and also tell you the processing times for each of these visa subclasses. So if you're interested, stay tuned. Hello everybody, this is Shitanshu from Dreamer Broad.

Okay, before I begin this video, let me tell you about the other video which was the Australian PR step by step process. I uploaded this video a week ago. If you want to know about the process, you know what all documents are required, how much time does it take. So the holistic view of the complete process, you can watch it, you can watch this video, you can visit my channel or I will also provide the link to this video in the description box. There's the other video also which was about the eligibility. So if you want to check out the eligibility, you can check that out as well. Right, so I'll discuss all of the three visa subclasses. One by one, let's talk about 189, first of all, which is also called Scale Independent OVISA. Now, this visa is for candidates who don't have any sponsorship for state, territory employer or a family member in Australia. The selection for this visa is done on the basis of your skills, experience, profile score, since it is a point based visa. Now, let's check out the eligibility criteria. To be eligible, you must have an relevant occupation which must be listed in the in demand occupation list. You should also have a suitable skills assessment for the occupation with the point test marks of 65 points, minimum 65 points are required now. You must be under 45 years of age, competent English and be invited by the government of Australia to apply. Now, the processing time for this is around nine months for most of the applications. So it generally takes around six to nine months. This is the general timeline. Okay, now let's talk about the next visa subclass, which is 190, which is also called Skill Nominated Visa. This visa allows skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. To apply for this visa subclass, you need to submit an expression of interest and subsequently obtain a nomination. If you get the state nomination, five extra points would be awarded, which is a big bonus and this will definitely help you to get the early invite. To be eligible, you must have a state nomination or the territory government nomination. So this is the one criteria, which is actually different from the 189 list, all the criteria are same. Basically this criteria is different, so I've highlighted it over here. Now the processing time is around six months, which is considerably lesser than the 189 visa, because you've been nominated by the province. So in that case, the government of Australia trusts and they ensure that you reach Australia as early as possible. So six months is the time. Generally it takes from four to six months. Okay. Let's talk about the last one, which is visa subclass 49. It is also called skilled regional visa or the provisional visa. Sorry. This visa allows skilled workers to live and work in regional or low population growth metropolitan areas of Australia. This visa is valid up to four years. So guys, this is his point to be noted. The 189 and 190 visas are for the permanent residency, but this is a provisional visa. It's not for the permanent residency. It doesn't entitle you to live in Australia permanently. It is only valid up to four years. There are three pathways to this visa, the extended stay pathway, the invited way, the invited pathway and the subsequent entry pathway. Now let's check out the the eligibility criteria, which will actually explain these three points as well. To be eligible, you must hold a subclass 475, 487, 495 or 496 visa. So if you have any one of these visa, you can get the extended visa 489, which is the extended stay pathway. Or you must be nominated by a state or territory government agency or be sponsored by an eligible relative. So if in case you're sponsored by a relative, in that case, it will be an invited pathway. You also should have a relevant occupation, which should be listed in the occupation list. You should have completed your skills assessment for the occupation, meet the points category of 65 points and the age of less than 45 years age and have competent English. Let's all, let's say everything is same. It's just the difference in the starting. So the processing time for this visa is about 10 to 11 months, actually it's from like 8 to 11 months, that is for most of the applications. So guys hope, you know, now you know, a bit more about these three visa subclasses I would make videos, you know, very in very near future detail in a detailed video for each of these visa subclass explaining what are they all about, you know, what are the details. So this was just an overview for these three visa subclasses. I hope that this video was helpful for you. Thanks for watching this video.
