Priority Processing for Orange-Plus Candidates:

Candidates who possess at least one Orange-Plus attribute will be internally marked as high priority by Migration Tasmania. These candidates are expected to receive an invitation to apply for nomination within six months, with those having more Orange-Plus attributes receiving their invitations sooner.

All subclass 190 visa candidates who meet the Orange-Plus criteria will be invited to apply for nomination during this program year.

Important Note: Employment must be classified as skilled in order to claim Orange-Plus attributes, ensuring that only highly qualified candidates benefit from the prioritization.

This update highlights the current status of Tasmania’s nomination places and processing times for the 2024 skilled migration program. Candidates are encouraged to monitor their applications and ensure they meet all necessary criteria for a smoother process.
