📋 Initial assessment and review of general immigration conditions

The first step in assessing individual competence
Before taking any action, you should check whether you meet the basic requirements to enter the Australian immigration system or not. This evaluation includes checking age, educational qualification, relevant work experience and English language proficiency. You must be under 45 years of age, as age-related points are reduced after this age and some visas become unavailable.
Your major and occupation must be on one of Australia’s required occupation lists (such as MLTSSL or STSOL). Without expertise in these lists, it will not be possible to apply for skill and expertise visas.
Key factors in initial assessment
To succeed at this stage, check the Australian scoring system carefully. The minimum score required to register an Expression of Interest (EOI) is usually 65 points, but given the high competition, higher scores greatly increase the chances of success.
- Age: The most points are awarded in the age range of 25 to 32 years.
- Work history: Having official and verifiable work experience inside or outside of Australia.
- Education: Valid bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate university degrees.
- language mastery: obtaining an acceptable score in international English language tests.
One of the biggest mistakes that applicants make is not knowing enough about these basic factors. We suggest that you definitely read the article Common mistakes in going through the process of work immigration to Australia to avoid possible problems.
🗣️ English language proficiency and valid tests
The vital role of language skills in obtaining a visa
Mastering the English language is one of the integral components in the process of working immigration to Australia. The Australian Immigration Department considers a language certificate necessary not only for work, but also to prove the ability to communicate in this country’s society. Valid tests such as IELTS, PTE and TOEFL are accepted by the Australian government.
To get a high score in the immigration system, you need a language level of perfect or excellent (Proficient or Superior). For example, getting a score of 7 in all four skills of the IELTS test is equivalent to Proficient and you get points.
Comparison of approved language tests
The PTE test has become very popular among Iranian applicants today due to the computerized correction and the speed of announcing the results. In the table below, the status of these tests are compared:
| name of the test | Equivalent to 7 IELTS score | Equivalent to 8 IELTS score |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS General/Academic | 7 in each skill | 8 in each skill |
| PTE Academic | 65 per skill | 79 per skill |
| TOEFL iBT | A total of 94 | A total of 110 |
Be sure to plan carefully for language preparation because a low language score can seriously challenge your entire application.
📜 Evaluation of educational qualifications and work records (Skills Assessment)

Equivalence of expertise by assessment organizations
After ensuring the general and language requirements, the next very important step is the evaluation of educational qualifications and work records by the relevant assessment organization (Skills Assessing Authority) in Australia. Each job has its own evaluation organization; For example, engineers are assessed by Engineers Australia and IT professionals by ACS.
At this stage, the relevant organization checks whether your university degree and work experience match the Australian educational and employment standards. The positive confirmation of the evaluator organization is the key to your entry to the registration stage.
Documents required for evaluation
Accurate preparation of documents is critical at this stage. Any defects in employment documents or translations can lead to rejection of the assessment.
- Official translation of academic documents and transcripts
- Certificates of work experience with details of duties, working hours and salary
- Employment contracts, payslips and social security insurance
- Updated and standard CV
- Relevant training course certificates

⭐ Registration of Expression of Interest (EOI) and scoring system
Entering the competitive pool of the Immigration Department
After receiving a positive evaluation of the skills assessment and the language certificate, it is time to register the expression of interest or EOI in the SkillSelect Australia system. This system allows you to enter your education, occupation, age and language score and calculate your overall score.
The expression of interest system is not a visa application, but an announcement of your readiness to receive an invitation from the Australian government or various states. The invitation is issued based on the highest points obtained and having the minimum score does not mean that you will definitely receive the invitation.
The main axes of scoring in EOI
Your score is calculated based on various factors, each of which has a specific weight:
- married or single status: single people or those whose spouse has a language certificate and a positive evaluation, get more points.
- Work history within Australia: Working or studying in Australia has a special advantage.
- Job Offer: having employer or state sponsorship.
- Complementary educational qualification: Master’s degree or Ph.D.
After filing the EOI, you will have to wait for the record periods of invitations to determine the status of your case.
🏛️ Receiving state or regional sponsorship (State Nomination)

Increasing chances of admission with support from states
Many applicants for work immigration to Australia use subclass 190 (state independent) or 491 (conditional territorial) visas to increase their chances. In this method, in addition to the federal government, one of the Australian states (such as New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, etc.) will review and approve your case.
Each state has its own job requirements and requirements. State approval usually adds 15 points to your total points in the EOI system which is very crucial.
Procedures for applying for state sponsorship
In addition to federal requirements, you must meet state-specific requirements to receive this support:
- Check the list of occupations required by the respective state
- Submit separate application (RoI) on the state website
- Proof of initial financial ability to start a life in that area
- A commitment to live and work in that state for a specified minimum period (usually 2 years on a 491 visa).
Based on similar international standards in other accredited immigration bodies (such as case review regulations in USCIS), the transparency and accuracy of documents submitted to states play a key role in the approval of the case.
📥 Receiving invitation and final registration of visa application
The final step is to send the official file
After you reach the quorum and your state or federal government chooses you, you will be issued an official invitation (Invitation to Apply). From the date of the invitation, you have exactly 60 days to upload the complete visa application documents to the ImmiAccount portal system and pay the government fee.
This step is very sensitive; Because all the claims that you have made in the EOI form must be supported with unblemished documents. The smallest discrepancy can lead to visa rejection.
Final documents and attachments of the visa case
At the time of filing the visa application, in addition to the previous documents, you must also attach new documents:
- Certificate of no bad history from all the countries where you have lived for more than 12 months in the last 10 years.
- The results of the medical examination by the authorized doctor of the Australian Embassy.
- Completed forms for companions (if married).
- Proof of financial means and family ties.
To ensure that these documents are perfect, we suggest that you benefit from the guidance of experienced experts Dayan Tak.
🩺 Medical procedures, fingerprinting and security check

Health approval and security validation
After the final submission of the visa case and payment of fees, the Australian Immigration Department will enter the case into the queue for review. In this interval or immediately after registration, you must complete the medical examinations and fingerprints (Biometrics).
Medical examinations include blood tests, urine tests, chest x-rays, and general examinations, which must be performed by trusted and approved clinics. Physical and mental health of the applicant and all family members is the main condition for admission.
Security checks and international inquiries
After reviewing the identity documents, the case officer makes the necessary inquiries to check the background and security records. The length of the waiting period at this stage may vary from a few months to more than a year, depending on the type of visa and the workload of the immigration office.
- Performing biometrics at official VFS offices in neighboring countries
- Medical examinations in authorized medical centers
- Responding to any inquiries or requests for additional documents (Section 56) from the case officer
