Applying for skilled migration or general skilled migration requires you to meet the requirements of the visa subclass you are applying for and obtain as many point as possible, as the points-tested visas ranks you in a queue based on your score. In this respect, you need to first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) in the Department of Home Affair’s online system for skilled migration visas called SkillSelect. Skilled migration visas, employer-sponsored visas and business visas use SkillSelect. Once you have submitted an EOI request, the Department will consider your application and might invite you to apply for a skilled migration visa. It is important to have your documents prepared and ready to submit as you will only have 60 days to lodge a visa application once you are invited to apply for the visa. In this respect, it is important you can meet the eligibility requirements for your given visa subclass as the application fees are substantial.
