Update on Victoria State Nomination
From June onwards, the Victoria state nomination for visa subclass 190 has been closed. However, The Commonwealth Department of Home Affairs has announced that that they are preparing to provide a limited number of visa nomination places to the Victorian Government starting October this year.
People are advised to prepare their EOI (Expression of Interest) beforehand so that it will be ready once more information available and state nomination reopens.
In the 2019/2020 Financial Year, Victoria had the highest number of invitation for the state and regional migration (subclass 189/190/491) with 5,985 invitations in total.
