Processing times and nomination places used

Updated 28 April 2025

Processing times

The oldest nomination application which has not been allocated for processing was lodged on 28 March 2025.

Nominations, applications and Registrations of Interest (ROI)

Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa:

  • Nominations – 1654 of 2100 places used
  • Nomination applications lodged but not decided – 125
  • Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted – 49
  • ROIs on hand - 338

Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa:

  • Nominations – 610 of 760 places used
  • Nomination applications lodged but not decided – 72
  • Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted – 25
  • ROIs on hand - 282

Candidates with at least one Orange-Plus attribute will be issued an Orange pass. However, they will be noted internally by Migration Tasmania as a high priority and are highly likely to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within six months. The higher the number of Orange-Plus attributes a candidate attains, the sooner an invitation will be issued.

All subclass 190 candidates with at least one Orange-Plus attribute will be invited to apply for nomination this program year.

Employment must be skilled to claim Orange-Plus attributes.

Processing arrangements for end of 2024-25 program year

With almost 90 per cent of nomination places either used or offered,  restrictions may be placed on submission of further ROIs in the coming weeks.

Once all nomination places are used, applications for nomination will still be able to be lodged and Migration Tasmania will continue to assess any applications that have not yet been decided. However any applications that are approved will be nominated after Tasmania receives its nomination allocation for the 2025-26 program year.

Further information will be published on this website and in our newsletter when it becomes available.
