Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move to a metropolitan area after getting the 191 visa?
Yes. Once granted, the Subclass 191 visa provides permanent residence, and you can generally live, work and study anywhere in Australia.
Do I need state or territory nomination for the 191 visa?
No. The 191 visa is based on holding an eligible regional provisional visa and meeting income and residence requirements, rather than a new nomination.
