THINK VISA · Regional 491 Strategy Program

Your PR Might

Not Be in the City

But It could be in

Regional Australia

Already in Australia but struggling with 189 or 190? The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) could be your most strategic pathway to permanent residency — if you act early and plan properly.

Feeling Stuck in the PR Waiting Game?

You did everything right — studied, worked, gained experience. But now:

Your points aren't competitive for 189

You're not receiving 190 invitations

Your employer can't sponsor you

Your 485 or other temporary visa is expiring

You don't know which state gives you a real chance

You're not alone. Metro states are highly competitive. Invitations fluctuate. Requirements shift without notice.

Waiting without a clear strategy can cost you time, money — and possibly your chance to stay in Australia.

This is where smart positioning matters.

Why Subclass 491 is a Smart Strategy

The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) isn't a "backup plan." For many onshore applicants, it is the most realistic and strategic pathway to PR.

Gain additional points through state nomination

Live and work in designated regional areas

Access broader occupation opportunities (depending on state)

Transition to permanent residency after meeting eligibility requirements
