The statutory minimum points score required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) is 65 points. However, because invitations are issued on a competitive basis, the actual competitive score depends on your specific occupation, subclass (189, 190, or 491), and current invitation round trends. Often, higher scores are needed for competitive sectors.

The Department of Home Affairs uses student checks (Genuine Student requirement) to verify that an applicant’s primary purpose in Australia is to acquire high-quality education and that they intend to comply with visa conditions. It factors in your academic background, financial capacity, ties to your home country, and the value of the course to your future.

Our regional switcher shifts between portals: the Australia Portal (designed for in-country visa subclasses, employer sponsorships, and points pathways) and the Nepal Portal (designed for prospective students, English language preparation courses like PTE/IELTS, and local counselors in Kathmandu).

Processing timelines vary based on the assessment authority (such as ACS, Engineers Australia, VETASSESS, CPA, etc.). Normal processing can range between 4 to 12 weeks. Some authorities offer fast-track premium options for an additional fee that return results within 10 business days.

Absolutely. In addition to securing 5 valuable migration points toward skilled subclasses, it offers formal corporate communication modules, a structured internship program at a recognized Australian firm, and key local corporate connections.
