Architectural, Building and Surveying Technicians nec in South Australia — nomination overview
Architectural, Building and Surveying Technicians nec (ANZSCO 312199) appears on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) 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 prioritises applicants who can demonstrate a local employer sponsor or family ties in the state. Skills assessment from VETASSESS is required, covering qualifications and work experience against Australian occupational standards, with emphasis on drafting, building documentation, site measurement, and reading architectural plans. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, which requires three years of regional residence before transitioning to the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Processing in South Australia typically takes a few weeks to two months, 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.
