How to apply for Australia skilled migration, step by step. A Brisbane registered migration agent explains skills assessment, EOI in SkillSelect and invitations.
Applying for Australia skilled migration is a staged process, and you can’t skip steps. First, you confirm your occupation is on the relevant list and get a positive skills assessment from the assessing authority for that occupation. Then you submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect, where you’re ranked against other applicants by your points score. You wait to be invited to apply, and only once you receive an invitation do you lodge the actual visa application for the subclass 189, 190 or 491. There’s no job offer required for these visas. It runs on points, and small differences in your score decide who gets invited. That’s why the order matters and why the skills assessment and points come first. Here’s the full process, step by step.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation.
