Permanent Resident Visa requiring State or Territory Nomination
POINTS-TESTED APPLICANTS ACHIEVING 60 POINTS require nomination by the relevant Australian State or Territory government agency. Then, there is a two-step application process: firstly, lodge and Expression of Interest (EOI) and upon receiving an Invitation to Apply from the department, lodge a Visa application, either in Australia or overseas. Family members can be included in this visa. This visa has a high processing priority of between 6 and 12 months – more or less, depending on the quality of the application and the issues involved.
