General pathway guidance
Visa-specific official steps are still being verified. Use this planning framework, then confirm every requirement with the official authority.
Confirm the current points framework, occupation requirements, age limits, language level, and settlement-fund rules.
Practical tip: Treat the published minimum as eligibility only; invitation scores may be higher.
Complete language testing, education credential assessment, skills assessment, or professional registration as required.
Practical tip: Check validity periods so results remain valid through invitation and application.
Enter accurate profile details, submit an expression of interest where applicable, and update any changes while awaiting selection.
Practical tip: Keep evidence for every point claimed before accepting an invitation.
Complete the official online form, upload readable supporting evidence, review every declaration, and pay the required government fees.
Practical tip: Save a complete copy of the submitted form, payment receipt, and upload confirmation.
Follow any instructions for biometrics, medical examinations, police certificates, or additional identity checks within the stated deadline.
Practical tip: Only use approved collection centres and medical providers listed by the immigration authority.
Monitor the application portal and your email, answer requests for more information promptly, and keep your passport and contact details current.
Practical tip: Do not make irreversible travel or employment commitments until the visa is granted.
Check the visa validity, entry deadline, work or study conditions, and documents you must carry before arranging travel.
Practical tip: Keep digital and printed copies of the grant notice and the evidence used in your application.
