Australia Subclass 491 Visa Process Step by Step Guide for Pakistani Professionals

The Australia Subclass 491 Visa is a streamlined pathway to permanent residency and at Synergy Global Consultants, we guide every Pakistani client through each stage to ensure a smooth, compliant, and successful outcome. From initial consultation to final approval of your Australian permanent residency, our OISC- egulated experts handle everything so you can focus on your future in Australia.

Step 1 Skilled Occupation List & Skill Assessment

The very first step is to confirm that your occupation is on the Australian Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Our team will match your profession (e.g., IT, engineering, nursing, accounting) with the SOL and help you apply for a skill assessment from the relevant authority (like VETASSESS, AHPRA, or ECA). This is crucial without it, you can’t submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

Step 2 Expression of Interest (EOI) Submission

After receiving your skill assessment, you’ll register on the SkillSelect portal and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). This is where you show your intent to migrate under the Subclass 491 stream. Your EOI includes.

1) Points score (based on age, education, experience, English)
2) Skill assessment result
3) IELTS/PTE scores
4) Work history

We help you maximize your points even by claiming spouse points or state nomination.

Step 3 Invitation to Apply (ITA)

The Australian government conducts regular draws and invites eligible applicants via Invitation to Apply (ITA). If your EOI is selected, you’ll receive an ITA which means you’re one step away from permanent residency. We monitor draws closely and notify you immediately when your ITA comes.

Step 4 Document Preparation & Visa Application

After receiving your ITA, you have 60 days to submit your full visa application. We help you gather all required documents, including.

1) Passport
2) Skill assessment
3) Bank statements
4) English language test results
5) Police clearance
6) Medical reports
7) Family documents

We ensure your application is flawless reducing delays and increasing your chances of approval.
