What is an Expression of Interest (EOI)?

An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a formal way for individuals interested in migrating to Australia to express their desire to be considered for immigration. The EOI process allows applicants to be assessed based on their skills, qualifications, and experience. Once an EOI is submitted, it is reviewed by the relevant authorities, who may then invite the applicant to submit a visa application.

Key Points about EOIs:

• EOIs are submitted online through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system.
• Applicants can specify which visa subclasses they are interested in.
• An EOI does not guarantee a visa; it simply indicates interest in applying.
• EOIs are valid for two years from the date of submission.
• Applicants are ranked based on a points system which considers factors such as age, work experience, and education.

For more information about the EOI process and requirements, please refer to the relevant immigration resources.
