Live and study in Tasmania

If you’re keen to secure permanent residency, and looking to settle in a regional area, it’s important to assess if you would be able to find employment in your ideal occupation from the skilled occupation or state nomination list. For example, if you’re studying Nursing, ensure that after you graduate you can find work as a Nurse in the new city.

Australian government is encouraging skilled workers to regional areas to avoid overcrowding in the major cities. If you apply for the 491 Visa, you will benefit from 5 extra points living and studying in regional Australia, plus there is priority processing on regional visas which will also make a difference to your application. If you’re interested in exploring a pathway to permanent residency, have you considered moving Tasmania?
