Expression of Interests & Skills Assessments

Applying for a skilled visa in Australia begins with two crucial steps: submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) and obtaining a positive Skills Assessment. Without these, you cannot be invited to apply for visas such as the Subclass 189, 190, or 491. At MyVisa Lawyers, I help you prepare accurate EOIs and ensure your skills assessment is complete and compliant, giving you the best chance of securing an invitation to apply.

What Are EOIs & Skills Assessments?

Both EOIs and Skills Assessments are mandatory parts of the skilled migration process:

• Expression of Interest (EOI) – An online application lodged through SkillSelect where you outline your qualifications, skills, work experience, and points claim. A successful EOI may lead to an invitation to apply for a skilled visa.
• Skills Assessment – A formal evaluation by an approved assessing authority to confirm that your skills and qualifications meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.

Submitting a strong EOI and a positive skills assessment is the foundation of every skilled migration case.

Who Is This For?

This service is designed for:

• Skilled professionals seeking visas such as Subclass 189, 190, or 491.

• Applicants who need help selecting the right occupation for their skills assessment.
