The points system for Australian skilled visas is based on factors such as age, work experience, education, English language proficiency, and other criteria. You need to score a minimum number of points to be eligible for a skilled visa. The higher your points, the better your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for a visa.

Australian Immigration Programs
Australia’s immigration system is designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, students, and families. The country offers several visa programs, each catering to different needs and qualifications:
Skilled Migration Program
The Skilled Migration Program is one of the most popular pathways for individuals looking to work and live in Australia. It includes various visa subclasses such as the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491). These visas are points-based, with candidates ranked on factors such as age, work experience, education, and English language proficiency.
Employer-Sponsored Visas
Employer-sponsored visas allow Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers to fill job vacancies that cannot be filled by local workers. This category includes the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) and the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (subclass 186). These visas can lead to permanent residency for the visa holder and their family.
Family Visas
Australia values family unity and offers several visa options for family members of Australian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible New Zealand citizens. These visas include the Partner Visa, Parent Visa, and Child Visa, allowing families to reunite and build a life together in Australia.
Business and Investor Visas
Australia welcomes entrepreneurs and investors through its Business Innovation and Investment Program. This program includes visa options such as the Business Innovation and Investment Visa (subclass 188) and the Business Talent Visa (subclass 132). These visas are designed for individuals who wish to establish or invest in a business in Australia.
The Australian Immigration Process
Immigrating to Australia involves several steps, from assessing your eligibility to submitting your visa application and preparing for your new life Down Under. Sigma Overseas provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process.
Eligibility Assessment
The first step is to assess your eligibility for the appropriate visa category. Sigma Overseas conducts a detailed evaluation of your qualifications, work experience, and other relevant factors to determine the best visa option for you.
Skills Assessment
For most skilled visas, a positive skills assessment is required from a relevant assessing authority. This assessment verifies that your skills and qualifications meet Australian standards. Our team assists you in preparing and submitting the necessary documents for a successful skills assessment.
Expression of Interest (EOI)
After obtaining a positive skills assessment, you must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Australian Government’s SkillSelect system. Your EOI will be ranked based on a points system, and if selected, you will receive an invitation to apply for a visa.
Visa Application
Once invited to apply, you must submit your visa application along with supporting documents such as health and character checks. Sigma Overseas ensures that your application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time, minimizing the risk of delays or refusals.
