Furniture Finisher — New South Wales Nomination

Furniture Finisher in New South Wales — nomination overview

Furniture Finisher (ANZSCO 394211) is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and is eligible for state nomination in New South Wales under the NSW Skilled Nominated program. New South Wales has strong demand for furniture finishers in furniture manufacturing businesses, fit-out contractors, and joinery workshops across Greater Sydney and regional NSW. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once New South Wales opens nominations; NSW applies competitive criteria including points score, English proficiency, and relevant occupational experience. Skills assessment is conducted by TRA, covering overseas qualifications and work experience against Australian standards. English language proficiency, health, and character requirements must also be satisfied. STSOL listing supports the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa (permanent on grant) and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa requiring three years of regional residence and employment before the holder may apply for the Subclass 191 permanent residence visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491 to the applicant's SkillSelect points test score. Government fees apply at nomination and visa stages; processing in New South Wales typically takes one to three months. For advice tailored to your circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
