Migrate to Australia
Skill Immigration Process
An individual’s process of immigration to Australia begins with an expression of interest. To be invited to apply by an Australian state or territory government, individuals must submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.
SkillSelect is the Australian government’s online system for skilled individuals who wish to express their interest in applying for a visa to live and work in Australia. Through SkillSelect, an individual may be invited to apply for the following visas:
- Step 1 : Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) Visa
- Step 2 : Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) Visa
- Step 3 : Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) Visa
Based on the EOIs in SkillSelect, the Australian government sends out invitations to apply for skilled visas multiple times a year.
Knowing what an individual must have before submitting their EOI is essential. Some critical criteria to check for include:
- If the individual’s desired occupation is on the Skilled Occupation List.
- Meeting the minimum score of 65 on the points calculator.
- Obtaining a skills assessment in the occupation the individual wishes to nominate.
- Completing an English language test if required.
- Information regarding educational qualifications must be included.
- Details of work experience must be provided.
Note: Individuals must include the date of their skills assessment, the assessing authority’s name, and the receipt number in their EOI. Additionally, they must include the details and results of their English test in the EOI.
