Hi. Quick question. How do I submit an expression of interest and how much does it cost? Thanks!
Thank you for your question. Use SkillSelect to make an expression of interest (EOI). All EOIs must be completed online using SkillSelect. An EOI is not a visa application and there is no fee to create or submit an EOI in SkillSelect. For further information please refer to Step 4 (‘Application Guide, Page 8’) in the Member’s Area.
Hi team, just seeing if I can submit an expression of interest (EOI) without completing an English Language Test or Skill Assessment?
Thank you for your question. Please note, there is no fee to create or submit your EOI, so you may start at any time, however before you submit your EOI, you will need to have evidence of your language proficiency and skill assessment. For further information please refer to ‘Step 3 (Occupational Pathways)’ and ‘Additional Resources’ in the Member’s Area.
What is an Expression Of Interest?
Thank you for your question. If you are considering applying for a general skilled migration visa, you will first be required to lodge an Expression Of Interest (EOI) with the Department of Home Affairs through SkillSelect. The EOI is not a visa application, but rather, it is the process by which you can express your interest in applying for the relevant skilled visa. You may start your official ‘Expression of Interest (EOI)’ via simply clicking on the blue link located on ‘page 8’ of the ‘APPLICATION GUIDE’ (located in Step 4). It’s important to note, that there is NO fee to submit an EOI.
There is a lot of information in Step 4 of the Member’s Area, where do I start? Many thanks!

You may start your official “Expression of Interest” (EOI) by simply clicking on the blue link located on “Page 8” of the “Application Guide.” Please note, there is NO fee to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
Please, what is an ‘Expression of interest’?
Thank you for your question. An ‘Expression of Interest’ or ‘EOI’ is how you show your interest in applying for a skilled migrant visa that will allow you to migrate to Australia. All EOIs must be completed online using SkillSelect. An EOI is not a visa application and there is no fee to create or submit an EOI in SkillSelect. Once you have completed your EOI, it is stored in SkillSelect and is valid for 2 years. Incomplete EOIs will also be stored for 2 years, but will not be eligible to receive an invitation.
You can access your EOI and update your information at any time. It is your responsibility to access your EOI and update your details if your circumstances change. It will be too late to update your EOI if you receive an invitation to lodge a visa application.
You may want to update your EOI if:
-you have gained new work experience
-you have gained a higher qualification
-you have improved your English language ability, or
-your family make-up has changed.
These changes may also affect your points score, and may improve your ranking. It is your responsibility to ensure you don’t provide any incorrect, false or misleading information on your EOI. If you provide incorrect, false or misleading information on your EOI, your application might be refused.
If you are invited to apply for a visa you will receive an invitation from SkillSelect. You will then have 60 days from the date of invitation to make a valid visa application online before the invitation expires.
