Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is 65 points enough for Australian PR in 2026?
While 65 is the minimum score to apply, it does not guarantee an invitation. Popular occupations (like Accountants or IT professionals) often require 85 to 95 points. However, state-nominated visas (Subclass 190 and subclass 491) can provide pathways for applicants with lower base scores.
Does the 491 visa give PR automatically?
No. The Subclass 491 is a 5-year provisional visa. To get Permanent Residency (via Subclass 191), you must live and work in a designated regional area for 3 years and meet income requirements.
Can I update my points after submitting an EOI?
Yes. You can update your Expression of Interest (EOI) if your circumstances change (e.g., you age up, improve your English score, or gain more work experience). It is critical to keep your EOI accurate to avoid visa refusal.
How do I calculate my partner's points?
You can claim partner points if your spouse or de facto partner is under 45, has “Competent” English, and holds a positive skills assessment in an eligible occupation.
Skilled Partner: 10 Points
Partner with Competent English only: 5 Points
Single Applicants: 10 Points
