The Migration Tasmania website contains general information on migrating to Tasmania and specific information regarding State sponsored visas and business migrant visas.

Prospective skilled migrants can apply to the Department of State Growth for a Tasmanian Government state nomination provided they meet both of the following requirements:

1. the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) requirements; and
2. the Tasmanian Government nomination criteria outlined on the Migration Tasmania website.

For enquiries specific to state nomination requirements, please email skilled@migration.tas.gov.au.

For enquiries regarding other immigration requirements, please contact DHA.

The Australian Government’s Visa Finder can help you explore other potential visa options.

If you require specialist migration advice specific to your individual circumstances, a registered migration agent or lawyer may be able to assist. A list of migration agents and lawyers can be found here.
