Who is Eligible for a General Skilled Visa?
To be eligible for a general skilled visa, applicants must have qualifications and experience in a nominated occupation on the Australian skilled occupation list. You'll also need to pass a points-based assessment, which considers (but is not limited to) factors such as age, education, work experience, and English language proficiency.
Our team at Ebra Partners will work with you to assess your eligibility and guide you on the best way to maximise your points score. We also help you manage your Expression of Interest (EOI) submission, a critical step in the skilled migration process.
