Default How Many Points needed for Skilled Visa

Hi All. Can anyone tell me how many points are needed for a skilled visa. I thought it was 110 but have since read 120.

Depends on the type of skilled visa:

Skilled Independent : 120 points
Skilled Sponsored : 110 points
STNI/Skill Matchjing/ENS/RSMS/Skilled Designated Area Sponsored : not points tested
Skilled Independent Regional: 110 points (but a 10 point bonus is available)

Better to ask immigration questions on the immigration forum. And always use http://www.immi.gov.au as your main reference.

Theoretically yes, however if you do some maths, you should see that if you meet the basic requirements (age, skill and English), you will have 15+40+15 = 70 points. So there is effectively no points test on STNI currently, just basic requirements.

It's been at 120 since April 2004. It went up from 110 to 115 in May 2002.

It is 120 points.

You get extra points 5 points if you have job in hand before you enter Australia. Must be related to your field of work. Need help in getting a job then email TNComsydney.hotmail.com

Until 2004 it was 115 points.

Only if nominated occupation is on MODL and certain other requirements are met.
