Formula Used

The Australia follow-on visa score is calculated based on the following factors:

Total Score = Age Points + English Points + Employment Points + Qualification Points

Each category contributes to your total score as follows:

Age: 10-25 points based on your age
English: 0-25 points based on your proficiency
Employment: 0-35 points based on your work history
Qualifications: 0-30 points based on your education

The maximum possible score is 90 points. You typically need at least 65 points to be eligible for a follow-on visa.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a follow-on visa score for a 30-year-old applicant with:

Professional English (20 points)
3 years of skilled employment (25 points)
Bachelor's degree (20 points)

Age Points = 30 years → 20 points English Points = 20 points Employment Points = 25 points Qualification Points = 20 points Total Score = 20 + 20 + 25 + 20 = 85 points

This applicant would be highly likely to receive a follow-on visa invitation.

Interpreting Your Score

Your follow-on visa score indicates your eligibility for an invitation to apply. Here's what different scores mean:

Score Range	Likelihood of Invitation	Recommendations
85-90	Very High	You meet all requirements. Prepare your application.
70-84	High	You're likely to receive an invitation.
65-69	Medium	You may need to improve one factor.
Below 65	Low	You may need to improve multiple factors.

If your score is below 65, consider improving your English proficiency, employment history, or qualifications before applying.
