What Is The Age Limit To Apply For PR In Australia?

According to me there is nothing better than permanent residency in Australia, owing to the scale of long-term benefits like Medicare and insurance, world-class education at top class universities as well as social security benefits such as Centrelink providing monthly payments for children’s education, healthcare, income assistance as well as support to disable people and senior citizens. But to be able to avail all these attractive perks you need to fulfill certain eligibility requirements, one of which is the age limit that affects your Australia PR Visa application approval. 

Since majority of the immigrants belong to the skilled migration categories like Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) and Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (Subclass 489) there is an age limit requirement you need to follow. 

For you to be invited to apply for Australian permanent residency you will be required to be aged under 45 years. The age group between 25 to 32 helps you gain maximum Australia PR points, after which your points tend to go downhill. You can still apply for PR visa, if you turn 45, after the immigration department of Australia sends you the Invitation to Apply. If you turn 45, after you have submitted your Expression of Interest or EOI, but prior to when the Invitation is sent to you, you will not be able to receive an invite.


What score is required for a PR in Australia? 

Be it any of the commonly pursue skilled migration pathways like Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) and Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (Subclass 489) you will be required to score a minimum of 65 points or higher on the points system as all of these above are point-tested visas. To calculate the scores, you can use the ranking tool also commonly called as the Australia Points Calculator

These points are granted on the basis of parameters such as age, work experience, competency in English language, educational qualification in or outside Australia as well as other additional factors such as Credentialed community language, Study in regional Australia as well as Partner skills. 

For you to apply for Australia PR, you must score 65 points or above or else you will not be invited to apply from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). If you are not sent an invite to apply, you will be sent an invitation declaring the number of points required to be scored by you, for your application to be evaluated by DIBP, so that your visa can then be granted. During application submission you must be able to provide evidence supporting your claims.
