Official source ↗If you're a skilled worker currently living and working in Queensland, you may be eligible to apply for state nomination to stay longer in the state. Queensland's Migration Queensland department considers applications from 'onshore' candidates who meet both Australian Department of Home Affairs requirements and Queensland-specific nomination criteria. The state values skilled workers and wants to help them build a future in Queensland, but nomination places are limited. Before submitting a Registration of Interest, you should carefully review the eligibility requirements on the Migration Queensland website to ensure you meet all criteria for your chosen visa pathway.
