Victoria Skilled Visa Nomination Program 2025–26 Closed
Victoria has officially closed its Skilled Visa Nomination Program for the 2025–26 program year to new Registrations of Interest (ROIs), effective 28 April 2026.
This update is important for all applicants planning to apply for Australian state nomination under Victoria.
Key Highlights of the Update:
- New Registrations of Interest (ROIs) are no longer being accepted
- Previously submitted ROIs will continue to be assessed
- Withdrawing an ROI means you cannot reapply until the next program year
- New program details for 2026–27 will be announced soon
What Happens to Submitted ROIs?
If you have already submitted your ROI, there is still a chance to receive nomination.
The Victorian government will continue reviewing existing applications for the remaining nomination places during the 2025–26 program year.
This means your application is still active and under consideration.
Important Warning About ROI Withdrawal:
Applicants must be cautious before withdrawing their ROI.
If you withdraw your application:
- You will NOT be able to submit a new ROI
- You must wait until the 2026–27 program opens
This could delay your Australian PR pathway significantly.
What Should You Do Next?
At this stage, strategy matters more than ever.
EMK Global recommends:
- Reviewing your current ROI status carefully
- Avoiding unnecessary withdrawals
- Exploring alternative pathways if needed (other states or visas)
When Will the 2026–27 Program Open?
Information about the next intake (2026–27 Victoria Skilled Visa Program) will be released once officially announced.
Stay updated to avoid missing your opportunity.
