The Skilled Migration to Tasmania program is for persons who want to move to Tasmania and possess the skills that the Tasmanian State Government requires.
The update offers details on the launch of a new portal for skilled migration applicants, called the Migration Tasmania Application Gateway.
Migration Tasmania Application Gateway Launch
The nomination portal will allow candidates to learn about the requirements for a nomination pathway for registration of interest (ROI). The application portal will be launched on December 12, 2022.
The official system and processes for Tasmanian state nominations are currently transferring to the new system. Unfortunately, this means we can’t accept any more applications at this time. New applications will be accepted after 12 December 2022, when the new gateway system goes live.
If you are thinking of moving to Tasmania and haven’t yet received an invitation to apply for Tasmanian State Nomination, then it is important that you register in the Gateway when it goes live.
If you registered in the Gateway by December 12, 2022, you will be held for six months after which the highest-ranking candidates according to the priority attributes claimed will be invited to submit a nomination application.
How will the Migration Tasmania Application Gateway affect your interim ROI?
The migration Tasmania application gateway update will affect new applications in different ways as follows.
- If you have already submitted an interim ROI and have been invited to apply for nomination:
If you have already submitted an interim Registration of Interest and have been invited to apply, you will not be impacted by this decision. You can continue to lodge your application up until Friday 9 December 2022.
- Applicants who have already submitted an interim ROI and have not been invited to apply for nomination:
The Application Gateway will open on 12 December 2022. If you still want to be nominated for a skilled visa by Tasmania, you will need to record a new ROI. If you submit your ROI through the Gateway during the six-month period following its launch, it will be stored in the system until the nomination process begins.
- Applicants who have not submitted an interim ROI:
Currently, officials aren’t accepting new ROI (Return on Investment) submissions until 12 December 2022. Once the Application Gateway is launched on 12 December 2022, you’ll be able to submit an ROI through it.
