What happens If you receive an nsw190 invitation and do not accept it

Hi Anil,

I have received a NSW 190 pre-invite in June but I have not accepted it as I travelled offshore in December 2020 and forgot to change my country of residence to India.
Now I am travelling back to onshore in few weeks.
Can you please confirm if the same EOI will be valid for receiving another 190 invite or do I need to lodge a new one?

Appreciate your quick response.

Regards,
Rony

Same EOI should be eligible to get another invite.

Thanks for your quick response!!
I have also heard that the EOI takes 90 days to get back into the pool again. Is it true?

The EOI on which you receive a final invite will be locked for 60 days (As you need to lodge visa within that timeframe), If visa isn’t lodged in that time, the same EOI will be part of the invitation pool again after 60 days.
In case of pre-invite, you get 14 days to submit documents to the state for a final approval/rejection during which the EOI will be locked. If you do not file your documents, the pre-invite will expire after 14 days and the same EOI will be part of the pool again for next round of invitations.
