Subclass 491 - Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa

  The Subclass 491 visa is a temporary provisional visa. This visa is meant for skilled foreign workers who desire to live as wells as work in regional Australia. The validity of this provisional visa is 5 years. By obtaining this visa, you will be allowed to:

• Reside in Australia for a period of 5 years
• Travel to and from Australia without a limit on the number of times they do it, during the period of validity of the visa
• Live, study, and work in a regional area of Australia that’s designated for you
• Submit an application for an Australia PR visa after 3 years from the time of granting your Subclass 491 visa

You will be able to apply for a permanent residence in Australia with eligibility after 3 years of staying in Australia on the Subclass 491 visa. The permanent residence can be applied for via the Subclass 191 visa. While holding a Subclass 491 visa, you and all family members holding the same visa are obliged to live, study, and work in one of Australia’s designated regional areas. It’s necessary that your nomination to this regional area is not withdrawn at any point in time. Otherwise, you won’t get the Subclass 491 visa. After 3 years of stay on Subclass 491, if you are eligible, you can apply for a Subclass 191 visa which is an Australia PR visa. While applying for the Subclass 491 visa, you can include your family members in the application. They can be included when submitting your visa application. If there are dependent children they can be added after you submit your application but before a decision is made on the application for your visa. It’s necessary that family members applying for the Subclass 491 visa must meet the character and requirements prescribed for Australia immigration. It may be necessary for family members not to come with you to Australia to meet the character and health requirements prescribed for Australia immigration. In case your partner/dependent children aren’t included in your Subclass 491 application, you must tell the Australia immigration authorities the reason why (E.g. they already hold citizenship of Australia or are permanent residents of Australia).
