TAS Update 12 May 2025 Processing times: The oldest nomination application which has not been allocated for processing was lodged on 17 April 2025.
Nominations, applications and Registrations of Interest (ROI) Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: - Nominations โ 1762 of 2100 places used - Nomination applications lodged but not decided โ 118 - Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted โ 124 - ROIs on hand - 290
Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: - Nominations โ 666 of 760 places used - Nomination applications lodged but not decided โ 50 - Invitations to apply for nomination issued but not yet accepted โ 83 - ROIs on hand - 247 Candidates with at least one Orange-Plus attribute will be issued an Orange pass. However, they will be noted internally by Migration Tasmania as a high priority and are highly likely to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within six months. The higher the number of Orange-Plus attributes a candidate attains, the sooner an invitation will be issued.
All subclass 190 candidates with at least one Orange-Plus attribute will be invited to apply for nomination this program year.
Employment must be skilled to claim Orange-Plus attributes.
Processing arrangements for end of 2024-25 program year With almost 90 per cent of nomination places either used or offered, restrictions may be placed on submission of further ROIs in the coming weeks.
Once all nomination places are used, applications for nomination will still be able to be lodged and Migration Tasmania will continue to assess any applications that have not yet been decided. However any applications that are approved will be nominated after Tasmania receives its nomination allocation for the 2025-26 program year.
Further information will be published on this website and in our newsletter when it becomes available.

Dear @gregormendel, now as Labour party has won the elections, what's your take on migration strategies in next FY especially the visa processing timelines? Furthermore, we people who have lodged 189 visa application in Nov-Dec 2024, can we expect grant in first quarter of next FY? Thanks as always for your kind support and swift response.

Hi, i applied 491 on 14 July 2023 and still waiting didnโt got anything yet. Can you please advise when i can expect grant and is there anything i can do to get it earlier. I already tried to contact department several times and they have escalated my file to the processing team 1 month ago still didnโt hear anything


Hi! Hope everyone is doing great. I have a small query. I had applied for 491 visa last year in May 2024. It has been almost a year, waiting for the final grant. I have already uploaded fresh Police character certificates on reaching the year mark. I also wanted to undertake fresh medical so that once the case officer opens the case, he does not have to generate an RFI for fresh medical. But, I could not find any option in my Immi account for initiating a fresh medical request. Can anyone guide me about this? Do I have to wait for a case officer to ask me for a fresh medical, or should I undertake it on my own? Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
I applied for a 491 visa (QLD sponsorship) on the 15th November 2023 (medicals and biometrics received by the Immigration on the 22nd November), do you think there is a chance I get a visa grant before July ? it's starting to be very frustrating now, especially seeing the few 491 visa grants since the end of April.
Thanks a lot

Hi All, We have received s56 for updated passport but my husband's passport is expiring on 11th May (in 3 days). We have an apppointment scheduled with VFS for passport renewal on 14th May but not sure how much time it will take for new passport.
Can you please guide what are our other options to make it quicker?
Appreciate your response.

Is there any chance of getting a grant for 190 visa applicants who applied in June 2023? The current status still shows "Received" and the financial year is almost ending. If it's not possible in this financial year, when do the new financial year grants usually begin? @gregormendel any comment?
