2. Technical Interview and/or Practical Assessment: Depending on your occupation and country of origin, you might need to undergo a technical interview or a practical assessment to demonstrate your competencies.

Visa Requirements

To qualify for Australia’s points-tested visas, here’s what you’ll need:

1. Be under 45 years of age.
