YourVisaSite has arranged this copy for searching. No lawyer or registered migration agent has reviewed it, and it does not assess eligibility or choose a form, course or provider for you.
Who lodges it
The visa applicant completes their own general details, but the nominating body — a state/territory business development agency or Austrade — completes, signs and stamps the nomination portion. It is lodged together with the applicant's visa application.
When it is used
Used when a Business Skills visa subclass requires a state, territory or Austrade nomination — for example when extending a provisional visa or applying for the permanent stage — and the nomination is not otherwise recorded through SkillSelect.
