Queensland Government has announced a new application fee for the Queensland State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP). From 1 July 2026, the application fee will be $573. This fee applies to skilled visa applicants who are invited to apply for a Queensland state nomination after this date. If you are currently in the application process or planning to apply for a Queensland-nominated skilled visa, you should check the Application fees page on the Migration Queensland website to confirm current fees before making your payment.
