LMCAR2612 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi, was wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light, my husband is an electrician and his skills are on the MTLSS. We were looking at moving to the suburbs of Melbourne, but having checked out their skilled nomination criteria general electricians are not on it. Silly question but will this stop us applying for a 190 visa? Do we need to be looking at a different state? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guysYou will not be able to gain a 190 sponsored visa from Victoria if electrician is not on the list.I know south Australia has it on theirs as that's the route I've gone down (also an electrician) and I know NSW did have it also on theirs also.If you have enough points to apply for a 189 visa then this gives you the option to land anywhere in Australia.

VERYSTORMY Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Electrician (general) is still there. I am not sure where you are looking. But only look at the official government website homeaffairs.gov.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I am talking about the main homeaffairs web site. So, electrician is available for a 189 and doesn't need state sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the OP didn't mention a 189, she asked if she could apply for a 190 Victoria even though electrician general isn't on their list.

LMCAR2612 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 thanks guys, we don't have enough points for a 189 visa so need a 190 or 489. will probably end up looking at SA or NSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
