Skilled visas to encourage migration to regional Australia - Skilled migrants who commit to living & working in regional area will have access to skilled provisional visas, part of Fed Govt’s commitment to tackling skills shortages
From today, skilled migrants who commit to living and working in a regional area will have access to two new skilled provisional visas, part of the Morrison Government’s commitment to tackling skills shortages in regional Australia. This year, the Government has reduced the cap on Australia’s permanent migration programme from 190,000 to 160,000.
Within that reduced cap, the number of places allocated to regional visas has increased to 25,000. Successful regional visa applicants will become eligible to apply for permanent residency if they can demonstrate they have lived and worked in regional Australia for three years.
