If you’re considering applying for Victoria’s subclass 190 visa nomination, there’s good news: you do not need to be currently employed to be eligible. Unlike other visa pathways, there are no specific requirements for minimum work experience or hours of work.
Living and Working in Victoria:
For those who are already living in Victoria and working in skilled employment for an employer physically based in the state, you have the option to provide an estimate of your annual earnings in your Registration of Interest (ROI). However, businesses using virtual or proxy offices are not considered as being physically located in Victoria, so be sure your employer meets this requirement.
Even if your current job isn’t related to your nominated occupation, you can still claim skilled employment earnings as long as it qualifies under the criteria outlined in the Annual Earnings Estimation Guide. This flexibility gives applicants the chance to showcase their value, even if their work experience differs from their chosen visa occupation.
Not Working? You’re Still Eligible!
If you’re not currently employed or are working in non-skilled roles, you are still eligible to apply for nomination. However, it’s important to note that you won’t be able to claim any earnings in your ROI. This ensures that the nomination process remains accessible to a broad range of candidates, regardless of their employment status.
In conclusion, whether you’re working in a skilled role or not currently employed, Victoria’s subclass 190 visa nomination program offers pathways tailored to diverse circumstances.
