21.01.2022 The Tasmanian government announced that all new and existing applications for the 190 and 491 visas would be considered according to new priorities, that take effect from today, 25 August, at 1 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. In light of the COVID pandemic, critical and essential occupations take precedence and applicants applying under these occupations will be processed first. Applicants who are not in critical roles will only be considered only after prioritised processing concludes. The government says that no decisions will be made on applications for non-critical occupations until October or later, and only those applicants with the most compelling claims will be selected. They have specified that the expiry of your visa will not be considered as a compelling reason and will not grant your application priority.
