Software and Applications Programmers nec — Tasmania Nomination

Software and Applications Programmers nec in Tasmania — nomination overview

Software and Applications Programmers nec (ANZSCO 261399) is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmania Skilled Nominated Migration program. Tasmania's public sector IT projects, research computing at the University of Tasmania, and the growing community of technology workers relocating for lifestyle reasons create opportunities for specialist programmers in disciplines covered by this residual ANZSCO category. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens invitations for this occupation. Skills assessment is conducted by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which assesses overseas ICT qualifications and specialised programming experience. Tasmania typically requires applicants to demonstrate genuine intent to reside in the state. English language proficiency and health and character requirements apply. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
