          Subclass 189 vs. Subclass 489<\/h2>\n

          Subclass 189<\/a> is an independent skilled visa category that allows you to live and work in anywhere in Australia. You apply for subclass 189 against a nominated skill and on successful visa processing, the visa is granted.<\/p>\n

          It also allows you to study anywhere in Australia. You may also sponsor your family through 189.<\/p>\n

          There is no need for any sponsorship from an employer or family member. State\/territory sponsorship is also not required.<\/p>\n

          489 on the other hand, has all these benefits but within a specified regional territory. Also, you must be sponsored either by a family member or by an Australian state\/territory.<\/p>\n

          Through subclass 189, you can apply for permanent Australian citizenship 2 years after successful compliance of all visa conditions. 489 bounds you to comply with all conditions for 4 years, only then you can apply for a permanent residency in Australia.<\/p>\n

          Subclass 190 vs. Subclass 489<\/h2>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Subclass 190<\/a> is a skilled immigration visa that allows you to have a residency in Australia. You nominate a skill from the Skilled Occupation List or Consolidated Skilled Occupation List and work in Australia against that skill.<\/p>\n

          Subclass 190 requires you to be nominated by a state\/territory in Australia. You can sponsor your family members through this visa and apply for a permanent residency after 2 years.<\/p>\n

          Though it seems similar to 489 but the major difference is that 489 bounds you to live, work and study in a specified regional state\/territory of Australia. 190 on the other hand, allow you to live, work and study anywhere in Australia.<\/p>\n

          Also, you can apply for permanent residency on a\u00a0successful compliance of all conditions, only after 4 years of 489 visa granted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
