Applying for Victorian visa nomination
As places are limited and you will be competing against the best and brightest already living and working in Victoria, simply meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection. You will be asked to provide critical information about yourself and how you are contributing to Victoria’s economic recovery or health response when completing your Registration of Interest for Victorian Visa Nomination.
Selection to apply for Victorian visa nomination is not a guarantee of nomination. All applications will be thoroughly assessed to ensure each candidate’s skills and experience meet the needs of Victoria’s economic recovery or health response.
You must also meet the nomination criteria for the relevant visa:
- Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
- Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)
