Victoria’s 2023-24 Skilled Visa Nomination Program (subclass 190 and subclass 491) is now open to applicants living in Victoria and overseas and provides a pathway to permanent residency in Victoria to skilled migrants.
To be eligible to apply for Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) nomination in the 2023-24 program, onshore applicants must be living and working in regional Victoria at the time of nomination. The Department of Home Affairs has included some outer suburbs of Melbourne in the regional zones. Due to this change, the ROI requirements for Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) nomination has been updated. According to the new ROI requirement, if the applicant submitted a subclass 491 ROI in 2022-23 and was not selected, the applicant will need to submit a new ROI if they are still eligible.
However, there are no changes to the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) nomination program. The applicants are not required to re-submit their ROI (unless the information provided has changed) for program year 2023-24, if they had already submitted a subclass 190 Registration of Interest in 2022-23 and were not selected.
Victoria Skilled Visa Nomination Migration Program 2023-24 will close in early 2024 at a date to be confirmed.
