Victoria Australia

The Victoria State authorities have confirmed that select immigrants will be waived English language requirements. It must be noted that some occupations are subject to higher requirements for the English language. This is for being considered for an Australia Visa nomination by Victoria. This is specified in the Visa Nomination List for Victoria, as quoted by the SBS.

In some circumstances, the requirement for higher English language can be waived for select immigrants. This is to at least IELTS 6 or equivalent in every band if the applicants cater to minimum one of the following:

  • The applicant must be currently working in the occupation that is nominated in Victoria and must be working for more than 6 months
  • The applicant must have been awarded Ph.D. in the past 5 years

The nomination from Victoria State is a pathway for skilled overseas immigrants to apply for an Australia Visa. This is with the Home Affairs Department. The Victoria State offers State sponsorship for Skilled Nominated Employment. This is for the below Australia Skilled Visas:

  • Australia Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa
  • Australia Subclass 489 Provisional Skilled Regional Visa

The below documents are required for submitting an application for the above Visas:

  • Detailed Resume or CV
  • Proof of Skills assessment
  • Form for a declaration of skills
  • Test report of English language or passport’s biographical page if exempted from the test
  • Proof of licensing or registration if applicable
  • A letter of offer or contract from the employer if applicable
  • Ph.D. completion letter copy if applicable
  • 457 Visa documents if applicable
