Travel to and from Australia as many times as needed while the visa is valid.
The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa Subclass 491 offers numerous benefits to skilled workers, their families, and employers in regional areas:
This visa encourages skilled migrants to settle in regional areas of Australia where their skills are in demand. These regions include thriving cities such as Adelaide, Perth, and Hobart, as well as rural communities offering unique career and lifestyle opportunities.
The Subclass 491 visa provides a pathway to permanent residency through the Skilled Regional Permanent Visa (Subclass 191). To qualify for this pathway, visa holders must meet specific requirements, such as earning a minimum taxable income for at least three years and living in a designated regional area.
Applicants can include eligible family members in their Subclass 491 visa application. This allows families to move to Australia together and benefit from the same rights and conditions as the primary applicant.
Applicants can apply for the visa if their occupation is listed on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). The list is regularly updated to address Australia’s changing economic and labor market needs, providing opportunities for professionals in various fields.
Unlike employer-sponsored visas, the Subclass 491 visa allows skilled workers to apply independently or through sponsorship by a family member in a regional area. This provides greater flexibility for applicants who may not have a direct connection to a specific employer.
