Points Calculator & Expression of Interest (EOI): Your First Step Toward PR in Australia
Are you dreaming of migrating to Australia through a skilled visa? One of the first—and most crucial—steps is understanding how the Points Calculator and Expression of Interest (EOI) system work. These two elements form the foundation of Australia’s General Skilled Migration (GSM) pathway, helping the government select applicants with the right qualifications, experience, and intent.
What is the Points-Based System?
Australia uses a points-tested system to assess whether a visa applicant qualifies under specific skilled migration categories, such as:
Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa
Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa
Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa
To be eligible, you must score at least 65 points across various criteria. However, securing an invitation to apply often requires a higher score due to competition and occupation ceilings.
What is the Expression of Interest (EOI)?
The EOI is not a visa application, but a formal submission of your intention to apply for one. It is lodged online through Australia’s SkillSelect platform and becomes part of a competitive pool.
Why Your EOI Strategy Matters
In a competitive system, the quality of your EOI submission can significantly impact your chances. A well-structured, honest, and timely EOI, matched with the right supporting documents, ensures you're ready when the invitation round arrives.
The Points Calculator and EOI are not just formalities—they are your gateway to Australia’s skilled migration pathway. Invest time in getting them right, stay informed about immigration trends, and don’t hesitate to seek help for documentation clarity or process support.
