Northern Territory MINT Program | 190 and 491 Nomination
Check the Northern Territory MINT program’s 2026–27 status, subclass 190 and 491 nomination, documents and investment costs.
Is MINT open in 2026–27?
As checked on 12 November 2026, Paspalis lists the MINT program as open and requires new applications to go through an agent on its approved panel. The NT Government separately says its general skilled migration program is closed to new 190 and offshore applications, with limited onshore 491 exceptions. Check current MINT availability and your potential stream with the operator and a listed agent before submitting an application or paying.
How does MINT relate to subclasses 190 and 491?
MINT is privately operated and supported by the NT Government. It combines skilled migration with venture capital investment. The NT Government decides nomination and Home Affairs decides the visa. Subclass 190 is permanent, while subclass 491 is provisional and regional. Check occupation, skills assessment, English, points and NT criteria before considering the fund.
What documents, costs and timelines should you check?
Start with your CV, skills assessment, English results and current visa or residence documents. Ask a panel agent for the current investment documents and written details of the investment amount, fees, holding period, withdrawal and refund conditions, agent fees and government charges. Ask which conditions and timelines apply at each stage.
