Frequently Asked Questions
How many points are required for PR in Australia in 2026?
The legal minimum required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the 189 or 190 visa is 65 points. However, because the system is highly competitive, 65 points is rarely enough to actually get invited. For most standard professions (like Accounting or IT), you typically need 85+ points. Healthcare and teaching professionals can sometimes get invited with 65-70 points.
Do you get 5 points for studying in regional Australia?
Yes. If you completed your Australian Study Requirement (at least 2 academic years) while living and studying in a designated regional area (which currently includes cities like Adelaide, Perth, and Gold Coast, but excludes Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane), you get 5 bonus points.
What is the Australian Study Requirement (ASR)?
The Australian Study Requirement (ASR) gives you 5 points if you completed one or more degrees, diplomas, or trade qualifications awarded by an Australian educational institution. The course must have been registered on CRICOS, taught in English, and taken at least 2 academic years (92 weeks) of study to complete.
How can I increase my Australian PR points?
The fastest ways to increase points are: 1) Score 'Superior' on an English test like PTE or IELTS (+20 points). 2) Pass the NAATI CCL language test (+5 points). 3) Complete a Professional Year program (+5 points). 4) Claim partner points if you are single or have a skilled partner (+10 points).
