OFF LIST’ Nominations (for occupations not listed on TSOL)

From time to time in response to industry demand, Migration Tasmania may invite and nominate candidates who do not have an occupation listed on TSOL.

Candidates with a non-TSOL occupation may lodge an EOI for Tasmanian nomination, however, there is no guarantee they will be invited to apply.

Application Process

You cannot apply for nomination in this category before being invited by Migration Tasmania.

Follow these steps:

1. Read the nomination requirements for Category 3A: Overseas applicant (TSOL).
2. If you believe you can meet the requirements, create an expression of interest (EOI) in SkillSelect. Choose Tasmania as your state of interest. Candidates who select other states (or all) may not be invited to apply for nomination.
3. Migration Tasmania will periodically review EOIs and contact the most promising candidates and invite them to apply for nomination through SkillSelect.
4. If you are invited to apply for nomination, complete your application for nomination on this website within 60 days.

Attach a copy of the email invitation you received from SkillSelect. If you do not attach your invitation you will be refused nomination.
