A job offer isnâ€t required to be eligible to apply for a subclass 491 visa. However, if the candidate wishes to be nominated by an Australian state government, they must check the additional criteria of the state government and ensure they meet the Stateâ€s objectives. The certain States may require the candidate to have a job offer before they make an application. If you arenâ€t sure about whether or not the State you are looking to move to requires a job offer before you make an application, you can ask our 491 visa consultants. Our team will guide you from start to end to help make the process easy and smooth for you.
