Ways To Begin?

It’s necessary to file an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect and then get invited to submit a visa application.

The EOI is primarily a ‘Point test’ where you need to achieve at least 65 points.

An EOI serves as your way of indicating to the Immigration Department that you are a suitable candidate for this visa.

Below are the primary factors considered for awarding the necessary 65 points to qualify for this visa:

• Current Age
• Qualifications in Education (Diploma, Degree, or PhD)
• English Language Proficiency
• Professional Experience
• Skills based on Marital Status (Single or Partner)

Additional factors are: proficiency in a community language, education in Australia, your partner’s skills, and completing a professional year in Australia.
