Episode Summary:

The 2024-25 General Skilled Migration Program and State Nominated Migration Program allocations have been announced for: TAS, WA, SA, NT, VIC, QLD, ACT, NSW

In this podcast we will look at what those numbers look like for each state and touch upon some key things that applicants need to know about the General skilled migration program and state nominated migration program. The total allocations for Subclass 190 are 16,500 places and for Subclass 491 are 9,760 places.

From there, the conversation continues towards the states which are currently accepting applications starting August 2024. Amitava go on to explain how the state nomination process works. He walks us through the various stages involved right from loding an EOI until the visa has been granted by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). Many people are not aware of how many EOIs can be lodged for each state and each subclass. The conversations focuses on EOIs for subclass 190 & 491 along with the application fee for each state.

We conclude our conversation with the common questions we get asked about the validity of state nomination invitations and the possibility of individual finding work outside of their nominated state and transferring their nomination to another state.
