Aeroplane Pilot — Northern Territory Nomination

Aeroplane Pilot in Northern Territory — nomination overview

Aeroplane Pilot (ANZSCO 231111) appears on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in Northern Territory under the Northern Territory Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Northern Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The NT prioritises applicants with a genuine intention to settle and work in the region, and may require a job offer or demonstrated commitment to the territory. Skills assessment from CASA is required. CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) assesses aviation qualifications and experience against Australian aviation regulatory standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. State or territory nomination may provide access to the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional pathway requiring three years of regional residence before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds fifteen points to the SkillSelect score. Processing in the NT typically takes four to eight weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
