Solicitor — Tasmania Nomination

Solicitor in Tasmania — nomination overview

Solicitor (ANZSCO 271311) is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Skilled Migration Program. Tasmania employs solicitors across commercial, property, and community law practices, state government legal services, and community legal centres across Tasmania. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Tasmania opens nominations for this occupation; TAS applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and local employment ties. Skills assessment is conducted by State and Territory Law Admissions Authority (SLAA), which evaluates overseas qualifications, training, and work experience against Australian professional standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must all be satisfied. Two nomination pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, a provisional visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. Nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Government fees apply at the nomination and visa stages, with processing in Tasmania typically taking four to eight weeks. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
