Australian visa assistance and eligibility
This visa pathway may be suitable for research graduates checking whether a specialist qualification can add points, EOI applicants preparing evidence for education claims and graduates comparing qualification-related points options. Whether it is the right option depends on the applicant’s personal circumstances, current visa status, location, family situation, work history and the evidence available at the time of application.
Requirements, evidence and timing
Before lodging, the main issues should be checked together rather than in isolation, because one weak part of an application can affect the overall strategy.
- Eligibility depends on the exact qualification and current points table criteria.
- Evidence should show the qualification level, field and awarding institution.
- Do not claim specialist education points based only on course marketing language.
- Check the current points table before updating an EOI.
