Program Update - March 2026 - Update on Application Invitation Rounds

Reduced invitation numbers

As we approach the final quarter of the 2025–26 program year, we have continued to see strong interest in the State Visa Nomination program. The number of invitations to nominate we have now issued to candidates will use most of this year’s allocation.

This said, there are some remaining places and we will continue to process applications and receive ROIs however the number of new invitations to apply for nomination will be limited over the coming weeks while we focus on processing the applications currently on hand.

Once we have more information on the size of our allocations for the 2026–27 nomination program from the Australian Government we will provide further updates.

Subclass 190

We are temporarily pausing invitations for any ROIs that do not attract a Gold pass. ROIs can continue to be submitted and we will review the situation in the coming weeks.

ROIs with a Green pass will continue to be invited to apply for nomination within six months of submission however, if approved, we may not be able to nominate them this program year if all places are filled.

Subclass 491

Invitations will continue for all pass colours although the number issued will be reduced.

More information will be shared as soon as it becomes available.
