You need a minimum of 65 points to be eligible for skilled visas. However, simply scoring 65 points doesn’t guarantee you a visa acceptance. Given the high competition, one needs to achieve as many points as possible to strengthen their chances of Australian PR.

The ways to increase your points can vary based on your profile, some ways include getting superior english scores, gaining accreditation in credentialled community language through NAATI, assessing your work experience, having your partner complete their english test and skill assessment or maybe even completing a australian 2 years degree that meets the study requirement.

Once you meet the points requirement, you need to complete your English language test and skill assessment. You can then lodge your Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect. If you receive an invitation to apply, you can then submit your visa application.

You can calculate your PR points through our Australia PR Points Calculator or even through points calculator provided by the Department of Home Affairs on their website.

If your partner is included in your PR application, for PR English requirement, they need to demonstrate functional English i.e, an overall 4.5 in IELTS or a total of 30 in PTE. If they are able to get a competent English score i.e, 6 in each band for IELTS or 50 in each module for PTE, you get 5 more points for PR.

Yes, you can update your EOI at any given time to increase your PR points until you’ve received an invitation. Once you receive an invitation, your EOI is locked and you need to provide necessary proofs during that time. Failure to do so may result in visa rejection.
