Advertising Manager × Subclass 190 — pathway overview
Advertising Manager (ANZSCO 131113) qualifies for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa through its inclusion on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). The Subclass 190 is a permanent points-tested visa that requires both a positive skills assessment and state or territory nomination before a visa application can be lodged. Applicants submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect and must receive a nomination invitation from an Australian state or territory government. State programs vary in their demand for advertising management skills and may require applicants to demonstrate genuine connections to the nominating jurisdiction. Skills assessment is typically conducted by the Australian Institute of Management (AIM) or the relevant approved body for this occupation. Key requirements include achieving the minimum 65 points under the points test, being under 45 years of age at time of invitation, demonstrating competent English proficiency (IELTS 6 or equivalent), and committing to live and work in the nominating state for at least two years. State nomination contributes five additional points to the SkillSelect score. Processing typically takes eight to fourteen months and application fees start from approximately $4,640. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
