If you’re considering applying for an Australian General Skilled Migration visa, such as a Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491), Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, or Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) – point based, it’s important to be aware of the age requirements and how they can affect your application.
According to the regulations for these visas, the age of an applicant at the time of invitation to apply for the visa may be a factor in determining their eligibility. Below is a breakdown of the age requirements and the corresponding number of points that may be awarded:
| Age at the Time of Invitation to Apply | Number of Points |
|---|---|
| 18-25 | 25 |
| 25-33 | 30 |
| 33-40 | 25 |
| 40-45 | 15 |
It’s important to note that these age requirements are just one aspect of the overall eligibility process for Australian General Skilled Migration visas. The number of points you are awarded for your age may be combined with other factors, such as your education and work experience, to determine your overall eligibility for a visa.
If you are planning on applying for an Australian General Skilled Migration visa, it’s a good idea to thoroughly research and understand all of the requirements to give yourself the best chance of success. This includes being aware of any age qualifications and how they may affect your application.
