TAS · ROI-based state nomination

Tasmania skilled nomination guide

Tasmania first checks pathway eligibility, then ranks a Registration of Interest through priority attributes. A pass colour is an invitation priority—not a visa approval.

Invitation history & round data

This archive starts with the 2026–27 financial year (1 July 2026). New rounds are added without replacing earlier records from that year onward. Expand a date for its breakdown.

ROI priority scores ≠ federal EOI points; ACT Matrix is a separate ranking system. Historical scores are not future thresholds or individual eligibility conclusions. Invitation ≠ nomination or visa approval.

2026–27 · TAS ROIRound breakdown

Whole round; no location, occupation or pathway breakdown published

Lowest ROI priority score: 375 for 190; 72 for 491.

Government rolling page updated 17 September. The 190 round comprised 7 Gold and 30 Green invitations; no Gold invitations were issued for 491, which comprised 26 further invitations.

The three-month rolling assessment reference scores were 504 for 190 and 83 for 491. They are not the same measure as this round's lowest invited scores.

ROI scores are not federal EOI points. An invitation to apply for nomination is not nomination approval or visa grant.

Official overseas 190 criteria →
Overseas · subclass 491

OSOP remains invitation-only

The Overseas Skilled Occupation Profiles pathway cannot be entered by lodging an ordinary ROI. Migration Tasmania has stated that no general invitations are planned for this pathway in 2026–27; an overseas applicant must first be contacted by the state.

Official OSOP status →
02

Registration of Interest

Eligibility opens the ROI. Priority attributes determine the queue.

How Tasmania ranks an ROI

  • The ROI is free and remains valid for six months.
  • Only the most competitive candidates are invited; meeting minimum pathway requirements is not enough by itself.
  • Gold, Green and Orange-Plus attributes may require employment of at least $57,000 a year or $28.85 an hour, excluding loadings and extras.
  • Different pathways and visa subclasses publish different attributes and point values.
  • Every claimed attribute must be true and supported when the nomination application is lodged.
Pass colour is not an approval

A Gold Pass enables immediate nomination application. Green is expected to receive an invitation within six months subject to remaining places. Orange is competitive and may be invited; Orange-Plus ranks ahead of other Orange candidates. Red means the minimum requirements are not met.

Gold Pass01
Apply immediately

Reserved for the highest published priority attributes or designated overseas pathways.

Green Pass02
High-priority queue

Invitation expected within six months only while program places remain.

Orange / Orange-Plus03
Competitive pool

May be invited according to attribute points, demand and allocation. Orange-Plus is considered first among Orange passes.

Red Pass04
Not eligible to apply

The ROI does not meet the minimum nomination requirements for the selected pathway.

Priority attributes are pathway-specific. Do not transfer an attribute or score from one pathway or visa subclass to another.

03

From federal EOI to visa invitation

Tasmania nomination process

01

Confirm visa and pathway eligibility

Check federal age, occupation, skills assessment, English and points requirements, then the detailed Tasmanian pathway rules.

02

Create a SkillSelect EOI

The EOI must be current and list Tasmania as a state of interest. Include both 190 and 491 if you want the permitted alternative considered.

03

Submit a free ROI

Use the Migration Tasmania Gateway. The system checks basic eligibility and assigns a Gold, Green, Orange or Red pass.

04

Wait for—or activate—an invitation

Gold can apply immediately. Green and competitive Orange ROIs may be invited according to ranking and available places.

05

Apply within 28 days

Upload evidence supporting every ROI claim and pay the non-refundable nomination application fee.

06

Nomination and visa application

If nominated, SkillSelect issues the Home Affairs visa invitation, normally valid for 60 days. Nomination and visa assessment remain separate.
