How skilled migration works (in plain English)
Australia selects skilled migrants using a points test. If your job is on an official skilled occupation list (like this one), you can compete for a visa. Most people follow four steps:
- Get a skills assessment. An approved assessing body (listed further down) confirms your qualifications and work experience match this occupation.
- Submit an EOI. An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a free online profile in the government's SkillSelect system. It records your points score and the visa you want.
- Wait for an invitation. The government, and for some visas a state, invites the highest scorers to apply. A higher score means a better chance.
- Apply for the visa. Once invited, you lodge the full application and pay the fee.
The three main skilled visas on this page are:
- Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent): permanent residency, no sponsor needed, decided purely on points.
- Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated): permanent residency where a state or territory nominates you and adds 5 points.
- Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional): a 5 year provisional visa for regional Australia that adds 15 points and leads to permanent residency later.
Your points come from things like age, English level, work experience and qualifications. The minimum to enter the pool is 65 points, but the scores that actually get invited are usually higher, as the tables below show.
