MY AUS VISA — PRIVATE SKILLED VISA ROUTE WORKSHEET
Reviewed: 27 September 2026

Keep passport numbers, test results and personal evidence on your own device. This is a planning aid, not an EOI, visa application or eligibility decision.

1. OCCUPATION AND ASSESSMENT
[ ] My nominated occupation and code: __________________________
[ ] Check the skilled occupation list for each of 189, 190 and 491; the lists may differ.
[ ] Relevant assessing authority and assessment result/date: __________________________
[ ] Check the assessment validity and timing rules on the current subclass page and with the assessing authority.

2. POINTS CLAIMS AND EVIDENCE
[ ] Record the English result, age at possible invitation, qualifications and skilled work evidence.
[ ] Use the official points calculator for each route; check any nomination or sponsorship points.
[ ] List a document for each claim in my EOI. A score of 65 is only a threshold, not an invitation.

3. ROUTE-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
[ ] 189: Check whether my occupation and evidence fit the independent route.
[ ] 190: Which state or territory could nominate me, and what are its separate current criteria?
[ ] 491: Would I seek state/territory nomination or sponsorship by an eligible relative?
[ ] 491: Check the relevant designated regional postcode list and visa conditions.

4. SKILLSELECT AND APPLICATION
[ ] Record my EOI ID privately. Keep the EOI accurate and update it before any invitation if facts change.
[ ] If invited, read the invitation date and submit the ImmiAccount visa application with evidence within 60 days.
[ ] An EOI, nomination or sponsorship is not a visa grant or permission to stay in Australia.
[ ] For 491, check subclass 191 separately if later seeking permanent residence; it is not automatic.
