Program Reopening and Registration of Interest (ROI)

Migration Tasmania has also confirmed that the Skilled Migration State Nomination Program will reopen to new Registrations of Interest (ROIs) in the coming weeks. The exact opening date and the 2026–27 program settings will be announced shortly.

Impact on Applicants with Pending Nominations

Applicants with nomination applications that are still being processed will continue to be assessed under the requirements that applied when they lodged their application. If approved, they will be nominated through SkillSelect. However, applicants who have applied for Subclass 491 nomination will not automatically be considered for Subclass 190. Anyone wishing to be considered for a 190 nomination will need to submit a new Registration of Interest once the program reopens.

What This Means for Applicants

The increased allocation is a positive development for skilled migrants planning to live and work in Tasmania. With more nomination places available than last year, eligible applicants will have additional opportunities to secure state nomination once the program reopens.

If you are planning to apply, now is the ideal time to review your eligibility, update your Expression of Interest (EOI), and prepare your supporting documents so you are ready when Tasmania starts accepting new ROIs.
