Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

The Subclass 189 visa offers a direct route to permanent residency for skilled workers without the need for sponsorship. As specialists in this visa category, Mahi Visa Services guides you through the entire process, from lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect to meeting the stringent visa criteria.

Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

For those seeking nomination by a State or Territory Government, the Subclass 190 visa provides an excellent opportunity to secure permanent residency. Mahi Visa Services assists you in every step of the journey, from EOI submission to obtaining state or territory nomination and lodging your visa application.

Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)

Designed to address regional skill shortages, the Subclass 491 visa offers a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers willing to live and work in designated regional areas. Mahi Visa Services helps you navigate the intricate process of EOI submission, state or territory nomination, and meeting visa criteria.

Key Visa Criteria
