PR Points Calculator
Planning to apply for Australian permanent residency? Our PR Points Calculator helps you quickly estimate your eligibility under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. Whether you are targeting the Subclass 189, Subclass 190, or Subclass 491, understanding how your PR points for Australia add up is essential.
Additionally, knowing your points early can help you adjust your strategy—such as improving your English test score or gaining more work experience—to increase your chances of receiving an invitation.
Australian PR is based on a points-tested system that evaluates applicants on several factors. The Department of Home Affairs uses this system for visas like 189, 190, and 491
Here are the key components considered:
| Factor | Maximum Points |
|---|---|
| Age | 30 |
| English Language Proficiency | 20 |
| Skilled Work Experience (in and outside Australia) | 20 |
| Educational Qualifications | 20 |
| Australian Study Requirement | 5 |
| Credentialed Community Language (NAATI) | 5 |
| Study in Regional Australia | 5 |
| Professional Year in Australia | 5 |
| Partner Skills | 10 |
| State or Territory Nomination (190 or 491) | Up to 15 |
Consequently, you must score at least 65 points to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI). However, competitive visa streams may require higher scores to receive an invitation.
