Land Economist in New South Wales — nomination overview
Land Economist (ANZSCO 224511) is listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and Combined Skilled Occupation List (CSOL), qualifying it for state nomination in New South Wales under the NSW Skilled Work Regional visa and Skilled Nominated visa programs. SkillSelect applicants with a valid Expression of Interest may receive an invitation during NSW nomination rounds. New South Wales nominates Land Economists to support property market analysis, urban planning, and land use advisory functions across Sydney, regional New South Wales, and infrastructure-heavy development areas. Both the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa are available. A Subclass 190 nomination adds five points to the SkillSelect score; the Subclass 491 requires three years of regional work before the Subclass 191 permanent residence application. Skills assessment is conducted by VETASSESS, evaluating qualifications and relevant work experience in land economics and property valuation. English language proficiency must be demonstrated through an approved test. Health and character requirements apply. NSW nomination processing typically takes six to twelve weeks. Standard visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs after nomination. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
