  Breaking news! Major changes in Australia immigration, the government has once again taken action against skilled migration. According to the latest legislative news from the immigration department, starting from July 1, 2018, the entry score for the Expression of Interest (EOI) for general skilled migration in Australia has been raised to 65 points! The era of 60 points for skilled migration EOI has ended!


Breaking News! Australia Immigration Reform, Increased Difficulty for Skilled Migration


  The affected categories of skilled migration visas include the following three types:


  1. Independent Skilled Migration (Permanent) Subclass 189

  2. Nominated Skilled Migration (Permanent) Subclass 190

  3. Regional Sponsored Skilled Migration (Temporary) Subclass 489


  In recent years, the threshold for global immigration applications has been continuously rising, and the number of people applying to immigrate is still increasing. As the number of application cases accumulates, some countries are raising application thresholds to expedite the application process for clients, and some immigration programs have even been directly shut down, such as the Hungarian government bond immigration program.


  Australia, which has always been considered a popular immigration destination, is no exception. The increase in the EOI score threshold for skilled migration also reflects that Australia’s immigration policy is closely following the global trend of rising immigration thresholds and is gradually tightening.


  Experts from WorldWay Immigration indicate that immigration policies are constantly changing, as evidenced by the recent increase in the EOI score threshold for skilled migration in Australia. If you are still in the hesitation phase, you must act quickly, as the next increase in scores may affect investment immigration programs.
