Differences between visa 491 and visa 190

The Subclass 190 visa is designed for skilled migrants who receive an invitation to move (or stay) to Australia. Upon arrival, a state or territory sponsors them for the first two years of their stay. This visa category is based on a points system and requires candidates to meet specific qualifying criteria.

Similarly, the 491 visa allows skilled migrants to live and work in Australia. Under this visa category, candidates or their eligible family members are sponsored by a state or territory for the first three years after moving to Australia. Like the Subclass 190 visa, the Subclass 491 visa follows a points-based approach and requires specific eligibility requirements.

These visa options offer pathways for individuals and families who wish to migrate to Australia and contribute their skills and experience to the country’s workforce.

Visa 190 

This visa is permanent, but requires nomination from an Australian state or territory. Subclass 190 is a points-based visa and gives holders the opportunity to reside and work anywhere in Australia.

Humanitarian Program - Unfortunately we cannot assist you with this type of asylum visa if you are outside Australia.

However, you can turn to this website for help, which is a humanitarian program designed to assist people who are outside the country and wish to leave the country due to a well-founded fear of persecution due to their race, religion, nationality or because they belong to a dissident social group or have a different political opinion.

For more information on assistance programs for refugees and those who have been internally displaced, please consult here:https://www.acnur.org/

Unfortunately, you cannot appeal the immigration department's decision if you are outside the country, unless you have been sponsored for this refused visa by an Australian citizen. If this is not the case, the only viable option is to submit a new application. If you are interested in having our team of experts handle this new process, please upload the refusal letter issued by the immigration department. However, please note that our consultancy services incur fees.
