If you are hoping to secure state nomination in New South Wales, it is time to act immediately.
NSW has officially confirmed that they will be conducting a Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) invitation round in the first week of March 2026.
Because the NSW 190 invitation round is incredibly competitive this program year, the State Government has issued a strict cutoff deadline for all applicants. Here is exactly what you need to know to ensure your profile is considered for this upcoming round.
To ensure that invitations are issued fairly and based on the most accurate and current information available, Investment NSW requires all applicants (and their representing migration professionals) to finalize their Expression of Interest (EOI).
You must ensure your EOI in SkillSelect is completely up to date by Close of Business (COB) on Sunday, 1 March 2026.
If you recently completed a new English test, gained additional work experience, or celebrated a birthday that changed your points bracket, you must update your SkillSelect profile before this deadline. If your EOI is outdated or claims points you cannot officially prove, your invitation could be wasted, and your subsequent visa application may be refused.
Investment NSW has issued a strong reminder alongside this announcement regarding eligibility.
Only occupations that are currently active on the official NSW Skills List are eligible to receive an invitation. If your occupation is not on this specific list, you will not be selected in the March round, regardless of how high your points score is.
Don’t let a simple paperwork error cost you your permanent residency pathway! If you are unsure about your points, your occupation, or your SkillSelect profile, do not leave it to chance.
Our team of migration experts can urgently review your points and audit your profile before the Sunday deadline hits.
An incorrectly calculated EOI could cost you your NSW 190 nomination. Don’t risk losing your chance during this highly competitive round.
