Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional 191) Visa

The Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa – SC191 is a crucial component of Australia’s regional migration strategy, providing a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers in Melbourne. To be eligible, applicants must have previously held either the Subclass 491 or Subclass 494 visa and complied with the visa conditions. They must have lived, worked, or studied in a designated regional area for at least three years while holding the qualifying visa. Additionally, applicants need to provide notices of assessment issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for three income years out of the five years of eligible visa. Meeting these criteria and maintaining compliance with visa conditions allows skilled migrants and their eligible family members to obtain permanent residency, contributing to regional development and community growth in Australia.
