Can single eoi works for every state while applying 491 from offshore?

When applying for the 491 visa from offshore, a single Expression of Interest (EOI) can be considered by multiple states and territories. However, each state/territory has its own:

1. Skilled Occupation List (SOL)

2. Nomination requirements

3. Priority sectors

Here's how it works:

Single EOI:

1. Submit one EOI in SkillSelect, selecting the 491 visa subclass.

2. Indicate your interest in multiple states/territories.

State/Territory Nomination:

1. Each state/territory reviews your EOI against their specific requirements.

2. If selected, you'll receive an invitation to apply for nomination.

*Key Considerations:*

1. Ensure your occupation is listed on the relevant state/territory SOL.

2. Meet the required points score (65+).

3. Demonstrate relevant skills, qualifications, and experience.

4. Research state/territory-specific requirements and priorities.

*State/Territory Differences:*

1. New South Wales (NSW): Focuses on skilled workers in specific sectors.

2. Victoria (VIC): Prioritizes applicants with strong connections to Victoria.

3. Queensland (QLD): Emphasizes skills in high-demand industries.

4. South Australia (SA): Focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional growth.

5. Western Australia (WA): Prioritizes applicants with skills in key sectors.

*Offshore Applicant Tips:*

1. Research state/territory requirements thoroughly.

2. Ensure accurate and complete documentation.

3. Maintain a competitive points score.

4. Regularly update your EOI to reflect changes in your circumstances.

By submitting a single EOI, you'll increase your chances of being considered by multiple states and territories.
