To be selected for Victorian skilled visa nomination, you must first submit a Registration of Interest (ROI). The information you provide in your ROI helps us to decide whether you will be selected to apply for Victorian visa nomination.
A ROI is not an application for Victorian visa nomination.
If you submitted a ROI during the 2020-21 program, you must submit a new ROI to be considered for selection to apply for the 2021-22 program.
There are no submission windows for the 2021-22 program.
Your ROI will remain in our system for selection until it is withdrawn, selected or the program year ends.
ROI selection
We select highly talented applicants who are currently living and working in Victoria, using their STEMM skills in a target sector. If you do not meet these requirements, you will not be considered for selection and should not submit a ROI.
To select applicants, we:
- Remove all ineligible ROIs from selection pool.
- Read all eligible ROIs. ROIs demonstrating exceptional talent are selected.
- Rank all remaining eligible ROIs within each target sector by EOI points score and select accordingly.
A ROI with a higher score may not be selected in the following circumstances:
- The ROI with a lower score demonstrated exceptional talent and contribution to their sector, or
- the ROI with a higher score may have been determined to not be working in a target sector.
Updating and withdrawing your existing ROI
You cannot update a ROI once it has been submitted.
If your circumstances have changed or you provided incorrect information in your ROI, you must withdraw your existing ROI using the Live in Melbourne portal and submit a new ROI.
Multiple ROIs
You can only have 1 active ROI submitted at any time.
You cannot submit a separate ROI for each subclass. If you wish to change the subclass, or anything else on your ROI, you must withdraw the existing ROI and submit a new ROI.
