Tasmania recently conducted its latest invitation round on May 7, 2026, extending 62 Registrations of Interest (ROIs) to skilled migrants for the Subclass 190 and Subclass 491 visa categories.

Tasmania's latest skilled migration invitation round, held on May 7, 2026, saw a total of 62 Registrations of Interest (ROIs) issued to prospective migrants. This update is crucial for Filipinos considering migration to Australia, particularly those looking to settle and work in regional areas like Tasmania.

The invitations were divided equally between two key visa streams: 31 ROIs for the Subclass 190 visa and 31 for the Subclass 491 visa. The Subclass 190 is a permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory, while the Subclass 491 is a provisional visa for skilled workers and their families to live, work, and study in designated regional areas for five years, with a potential pathway to permanent residency.

In this round, the lowest cutoff score for the Subclass 491 visa was 54, classified as an 'Orange-plus pass'. This score provides an indication for aspiring applicants about the competitive landscape and the minimum points required to receive an invitation under this particular stream.

For Filipino skilled workers and professionals eyeing Australia, staying informed about these regular immigration updates from various states and territories is vital. Understanding the specific criteria, invitation rounds, and cutoff scores can significantly aid in strategic planning and preparation for their visa applications, ensuring they meet the current demands of the Australian immigration system.
