Here are some important points to consider when making applications for the state nominated visa subclasses of 190 & 491.

1. Always check their occupation lists before you apply. They do change. Occupations are added & removed all the time and often without warning.

2. Confirm what state specific criteria is required such as a job offer or a certain period of residence in that state. Is your occupation a regional only one?

3. Consider a separate EOI for each state or territory you apply for.

Finally, have the points required for your occupation changed? Make sure you stay up to date in an area that is constantly changing.
