Usually, for a valid application, the applicant must lodge a visa application within 60 days after the issuance of the invitation. In this case, if the applicant goes on to apply for the visa, the application will be refused for the same reason as the above Q2. What must be done instead is to wait for the 60 day period to expire, update data in the EOI and then wait for another invitation at a later date. It is important to note that if a visa application is not made after 2 invitations issued for the same EOI, that particular EOI will be permanently removed. The prospective applicant, however, may lodge a fresh EOI.
