Frequently asked questions

What is the age limit for skilled visas?

For the points-tested skilled visas (189, 190 and 491), applicants generally need to be under 45 when invited. Check the current age rules for your visa on the Home Affairs website.

Does my age change my points score?

Yes. Age is part of the points test, and age points stop once you reach 45. The points calculator shows your total with your age included.

Do employer and temporary visas have the same age rule?

Age limits vary by visa, so check the specific requirements for the visa you are planning before you make decisions.
