Understanding the State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP)
The State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) is designed to help Australian states and territories address specific skills shortages by nominating skilled workers for permanent or provisional visas. These visas enable successful applicants to live and work in the nominating state or territory, contributing their expertise to the local economy.
Key Visa Categories Under the SNMP:
- Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): A permanent visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia as permanent residents.
- Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): A temporary visa that enables skilled workers to live and work in regional Australia, with a pathway to permanent residency after meeting specific conditions.
