If you're exploring a Vietnam to Australia skilled visa, here's everything you need to know before you start your Expression of Interest (EOI).

How Can Vietnamese Citizens Apply for Skilled Migration to Australia?

Australia skilled migration for Vietnamese citizens runs through three main permanent and provisional visa subclasses under the points-tested system:

Visa	Type	Sponsorship Needed	Regional Commitment
Subclass 189	Permanent	None	No
Subclass 190	Permanent	State/Territory nomination	2 years
Subclass 491	Provisional (pathway to PR)	State or eligible relative sponsorship	3 years

Which Occupations Qualify for Skilled Migration From Vietnam?

In-demand occupations regularly include software engineers, civil and mechanical engineers, accountants, registered nurses, ICT business analysts, electricians, and early childhood teachers. Eligibility depends on which skilled occupation list your role sits on and whether a state currently nominates it — this changes throughout the year, so checking the current list before applying is essential.

How Long Does an Australia Skilled Visa Take for Vietnamese Applicants?

Processing times vary by visa subclass, occupation demand, and application volume, and can range from several months to over a year. State nomination and provisional pathways like the 491 often move faster than the highly competitive subclass 189.

Is an English Test Required for Vietnam Skilled Migration to Australia?

Yes. Most applicants need at least Competent English (equivalent to IELTS 6.0 in each band), while Proficient or Superior English scores earn extra points — valuable if you're aiming for a competitive invitation round.
