Expression of Interest vs. Registration of Interest | What’s the difference?
The Expression of Interest (EOI) is a statement submitted to Immigration about wanting to apply for a Skilled Migration Visa to Australia while the Registration of Interest (ROI) is made by individuals searching for state nominations. You can only submit your ROI after you have submitted the EOI.
