189 Australia Independent Visa

The Subclass 189 visa, known as the Skilled Independent visa, is a permanent visa option designed for skilled workers in Australia. Unlike other visas requiring sponsorship by an Australian employer, family member, or nomination by a state or territory, this visa operates on a points-based system.

Applicants for the Skilled Independent visa (Subclass 189) must achieve a minimum of 65 points in the point assessment. Upon being granted the 189 Visa (Skilled Independent), the visa holder and accompanying family members gain the privilege to reside, work, and study in Australia as permanent residents.
