2026-27 SNMP now published

Queensland's State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) for 2026-27 is now published.

Program requirements have been updated for 2026-27. We encourage you to review the current: 

  • Skilled visa pathways and eligibility criteria
  • Queensland Skilled Occupation Lists
  • Skilled visa documentation checklist 

Registrations of Interest (ROIs) will open on 6 November 2026.

Onshore applicants must have lodged their 2025–26 tax return and received their ATO Notice of Assessment (NOA) before submitting an ROI.

Due to the highly competitive nature of the program, submitting an ROI does not guarantee an invitation to apply for Queensland nomination.
