NSW application refused? Check out these top 5 reasons before applying for Australia EOI

Highlights: 5 reasons why your NSW Visa application is getting rejected

The NSW or New South Wales visa is a points-based skilled workers visa that allows employees to migrate to Australia and work in the New South Wales region. You must apply for an Australia EOI or Expression of Interest to get the NSW or Subclass 190 visa. 

Your NSW visa application may get rejected if you're making the following mistakes:

1. Modifying the EOI after receiving the Invitation: Once you receive the Invitation to Apply, keep your EOI for NSW unchanged. Updating the EOI post-invitation may lead to the rejection of your application.
2. Not adhering to Residency Requisites: The Australian NSW Visa program is very strict with its residency requirements. Applications will only be accepted if you meet the following criteria.
