VIC State Nominations

The Victorian Government will not re-nominate applicants who are subject to a section 48 bar where their nomination has expired and they are unable to leave Australia.


The section 48 bar applies to applicants who have had a visa refused or cancelled since their last entry into Australia. If you are subject to a section 48 bar you need to leave Australia before you can reapply for a visa.


Once offshore, you may consider all visa options, including Victorian nominated visas.

Should you wish to return to Australia while travel restrictions remain in place  you may request an exemption from the Department of Home Affairs.


Contact the Department of Home Affairs about Australian entry conditions

The Department of Home Affairs also publishes additional information about travel obligations for entering and leaving Australia.
