NSW 190 Visa Fees 2026–2027: Current Costs
Direct answer
A NSW nomination and a subclass 190 visa application are different transactions. Home Affairs currently charges AUD 6,140 for the main subclass 190 applicant. NSW decides whom to invite to state nomination at its discretion; check the NSW invitation and application instructions for any state charge shown at the time you are invited.
The NovenAI Data Team checked the current Home Affairs subclass 190 charge and separated federal, state nomination, family and third-party costs.
Based on official sources: NSW subclass 190 nominationThe federal visa charge
The subclass 190 main-applicant Visa Application Charge is AUD 6,140. Family-member charges, a possible second instalment for an adult without functional English, and limited passport-based concessions can change the government total. The official estimator is the correct source for a household calculation.
The NSW nomination stage
NSW nomination is not the visa itself. You first need an eligible occupation and EOI, then NSW may select and invite you under its current program. An EOI, a high score or living in NSW does not create an entitlement to an invitation. Follow the payment instructions and fee, if any, displayed in the current NSW nomination application rather than treating an older article amount as permanent.
Where does your occupation sit in the New South Wales 190 queue?
Enter your occupation to see the New South Wales 190 pool and how much of this year's quota is already used.
Other case costs
A complete budget may include skills assessment, English testing, health examinations, police certificates, translations and professional advice. These are separate from the Home Affairs charge. Do not add a generic “proof of funds” amount unless NSW or the visa rules for the applicant’s situation expressly require it.
What to verify before paying
Confirm the occupation remains eligible for NSW, the EOI claims are current, the invitation has not expired, and the exact services included in any adviser quote. Check both the NSW page and Home Affairs pricing on the intended lodgement date.
