WHAT IS Expression of Interest

WHAT IS Expression of Interest ?

It’s is an online form in SkillSelect with a series of questions about your skills depending upon the visa subclass you select.

The following types of applications can be lodged through SkillSelect:

HOW TO SUBMIT EOI?

EOI for Australian immigration must be submitted online via a system called SkillSelect.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EOI?

The EOI form includes a series of questions that ask you about your skills. The answers given are used to calculate your ability to meet the points test for certain visas.

EOI can also be accessed by employers and state & territory government agencies where you have specified your interest in a sponsored skilled visa for a particular area.

The information submitted in EOI includes the following:

  • Personal information – Given names and surname, date of birth, countries of citizenship and/or residence, etc
  • The nominated occupation
  • Work experience and employment history
  • English language proficiency
  • Any information pertaining to a state or territory nomination, which shows whether you are prepared to live and work in regional Australia.
NO NEED TO SUBMIT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

All the information you provide in EOI form will be taken at face value. The applicant does not need to submit any supporting documents when making Expression of Interest for Australian immigration.

WHAT AFTER SUBMISSION OF EOI?

You’ll be able to access your Expression of Interest after it has been submitted. You are free to take following actions:

  • Update information and details, if your circumstances have changed; and/or
  • Suspend the Expression of Interest.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

If successful, the EOI has one of two outcomes:

  • You receive an invitation to apply for a visa.
  • You are contacted by an Australian employer to discuss employment and sponsorship opportunities.

The highest ranking EOIs under Independent and Skilled Regional (Provisional) visas automatically receive invitations to apply. Generally, the invitations are extended every month and are subject to occupation ceilings.

On the other hand, the state- and territory-sponsored visas will see the state or territory identify and select the skilled workers they wish to nominate. The state or territory may even contact the applicants before nominating them.

In case you get selected and you have submitted a points score that is greater than the required pass mark, you will receive an invitation to apply from the SkillSelect system.

If unsuccessful for the time being, do not lose heart.

Not all EOI applications get an invitation to apply. It’s because the number of people who want to migrate to Australia are higher than the number of available places.

In any case, if you do not get an invitation to apply for a visa, your EOI will stay in the SkillSelect for a maximum of two years, which means you may get an invitation anytime in future.

STEPS TO TAKE AFTER GETTING INVITATION TO APPLY

The invitation to apply will come from SkillSelect. Upon receipt, you have 60 days to make your visa application.

At this point in time, you’ll need to the provide all the evidence to support the information given on your Expression of Interest.

My experience with Asian Pacific Group, particularly with Sandy, was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I expressed interest in pursuing a bachelor's in early childhood, Sandy took charge and ensured that my dream became a reality in just two weeks. Despite the challenges I faced, including having to return to my homeland due to a family matter, Sandy remained steadfast in her commitment to helping me. Her dedication and determination were evident as she assured me that my COE would be in my inbox before my flight back, and true to her word, it was. Thanks to Sandy's unwavering support and efficient handling of the situation, I was able to return and start my studies without any hiccups. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for Sandy's professionalism, competence, and genuine care throughout this process. Her ability to navigate complex situations with ease and her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients truly sets her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Asian Pacific Group to anyone seeking assistance with their educational endeavors, and I especially commend Sandy for her exceptional service. If you're looking for an education agency that prioritizes its clients' needs and delivers results, look no further than Asian Pacific Group, and ask for Sandy. She is, without a doubt, the best agent I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

My experience with ASIA PACIFIC GROUP is fantastic because of Sandy mam. She applied my offer letter in federation university and I got my offer of admission within few days. I got my COE in Master of Social Work with the guidance of Sandy mam. She suggested me to take admission in Social Work.
