Eligibility criteria

Queensland nominates candidates for various sub-classes of both skilled and business visas. These visas allow successful applicants to work and live in Queensland to support our state’s diversified economy and vibrant communities. 

To be considered for Queensland state nomination, you will need to meet both the Australian Department of Home Affairs’ and Migration Queensland’s requirements for your chosen visa. 

Some visas have a range of different entry pathways, which are sometimes referred to as ‘streams’. Eligibility criteria are specific for each visa stream.

Interest in Queensland is strong. Nomination places are limited, so we encourage every candidate to review the eligibility criteria carefully before registering their interest.

Links to information about eligibility criteria for each stream can be found on the Visa options page.
