Ship's Master — South Australia Nomination

Ship's Master in South Australia — nomination overview

Ship's Master (ANZSCO 231213) appears on the Regional Occupation List (ROL) and is eligible for state nomination in South Australia under the South Australian Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once South Australia opens invitations for this occupation. South Australia may require applicants to demonstrate genuine commitment to living and working in the state. Skills assessment from AMSA is required. AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) assesses maritime qualifications and competencies against Australian 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. Nomination processing in South Australia typically takes four to ten 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.
