Deemed Visa Applications

You may be ‘deemed’ to have made an application for the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 121) visa or the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 119) visa, if you are nominated by an employer and you have a valid application for any of the following visas:

• Subclass 126 – Independent Entrant
• Subclass 134 – Skill Matching
• Subclass 136 – Skilled Independent
• Subclass 138 – Skilled Australian Sponsored.

Your subclass 134, 136 or 138 visa application should already have been assessed against a points test, and you must have scored at least the ‘pool mark’ that was applicable at the time of assessment. For other visa subclasses mentioned above, you must have made a valid visa application.

In these circumstances, you do not have to complete form 47ES or pay the first instalment of the visa application charge.
See: Applying for this Visa

Regardless of whether you have made a deemed visa application, you must still satisfy the visa requirements for the relevant employer sponsored visa.
