Subclass 491

Subclass 491 is a regional pathway to permanent residency in Australia.

States and territories invite applicants to live and work in regional Australia for at least 3 years, after which they can apply for permanent residency.

In fact, Subclass 491 is one of the best and easiest pathways to Australian permanent residency.

Why the Subclass 491 Visa?

It gives applicants an extra 15 points in the Expression of Interest for state nomination.

Each state or territory has a separate skilled occupation list with more occupations than Subclass 190, and with fewer work-experience or stay requirements.

Benefits of Subclass 491

A regional pathway to permanent residency, with 15 extra points for state nomination.

The best part of this visa is that, the student as well as the family gets full time work rights. This is a huge benefit to the applicants as then they can work in any field and can earn to repay the loan they had taken for completion of their study.

This visa also allows the applicants to study full time in any other course. Now you may think that why a person will study again if he or she has already studied full time in Australia.
