Migrations
The required IELTS score for Australian Permanent Residency (PR) is a minimum of 6 in all
four skill areas of the English language: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
The typical age limit for Permanent Residency (PR) through skill-based visas in Australia is 44
years old. After reaching 45, most PR options diminish, with only rare exceptions for high-
income earners.
To be eligible for an Australian PR visa nomination or sponsorship, you must attain a minimum of 65
immigration points. These points are determined based on factors such as age, educational qualification,
skills assessment test, and language proficiency.
Determining the exact amount needed for immigration to Australia is complex and depends on
factors such as visa type, family size, intended duration of stay, and various costs. Different types
of Australian Immigration Visas, like skilled, partner, or business visas, have varying costs,
ranging from $8000 to $15000. Specific expenses include the Visa Application Fee (around
$3600-$3700 for the primary applicant, up to $1800 for a spouse, and $900-$1000 for a child),
Skill Assessment Fee (ranging from $300-$500 or higher), Language Test (IELTS/PTE) cost
(varies from $200-$250), Medical Assessment Fee (estimated up to $100 per person), General
Documentations Cost (approximately under $500), and potential Consultant Cost. Additionally,
post-application charges such as flight tickets, living costs in Australia (including
accommodation, food, healthcare, etc.), and initial support for the first few months are essential
considerations.
Degrees with strong PR prospects in Australia include Engineering, Accounting, Computer and
Information Technology, Education and Teaching, Nursing and Midwifery, Medical Courses, and
Dentistry. Choose a degree that aligns with your goals for better PR opportunities.

Your parents, legal guardians, or spouse can sponsor your visa for studying in Australia unless
you're financially sponsoring yourself. Your sponsor will be responsible for funding your travel,
studies, and related expenses. They will also have to provide the necessary financial
documentation, including bank account details, for visa application fees, tuition payments, and
other financial transactions.
There is no age limit for obtaining a student visa in Australia, allowing individuals of any age to
pursue their dreams of studying at an Australian university.
You can live in Australia after your student visa through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass
485), specifically the Post-Study Work stream. This option is available to international students
who have recently completed a degree at an Australian institution. With this visa, you have the
opportunity to reside, work, and continue studying in Australia temporarily.
After your student visa expires, you can extend your stay in Australia through a Temporary
Graduate visa. The duration of this extension typically varies between 2 and 4 years, depending
on the qualification you've obtained.
You can apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Australia while studying. However, this process
can become complex and lengthy. If you meet the eligibility criteria and requirements, Australian
immigration may grant you a bridging visa that remains valid until you receive the PR. The
timeline for obtaining Permanent Residency as an international student typically ranges from 2 to
4 years. The specific duration depends on various factors, including your student visa type,
country of origin, and the availability of relevant visas.
