Introduction
2 SkillSelect
SkillSelect is an online service that enables skilled workers and business people interested in migrating
to Australia to record their details to be identified for a skilled visa through an expression of interest (EOI).
People could be found and nominated for skilled visas by Australian employers or state and territory
governments, or they could be invited by the Australian Government to lodge a visa application.
Intending migrants
This booklet will help you understand the steps required to submit an expression of interest (EOI) using
SkillSelect. Please ensure you read this entire booklet as it will help you to understand what requirements
you need to meet to enable a complete submission of your EOI.
It is important to remember that the submission of an EOI is not an application for a visa.

invitation before you can apply for a visa.

• Subclass 190 Skilled – Sponsored (Permanent) (Class SK)
• Subclass 489 Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) (Class SP)

You can also express interest in the following visa programs on your EOI to be selected by an employer.
