Important information
This page provides general information only and it is not being provided as immigration assistance, and any reader should not consider it as being provided as immigration assistance.
Your particular circumstances should be examined and assessed by an Australian Registered Migration Agent who can then explain if you satisfy the criteria for this visa before acting.
Every application is assessed on its own merits.
The Department of Home Affairs can change visa application charges, income thresholds and eligibility criteria without notice.
Income thresholds are indexed on 1 July each year.
The figures that apply are those in force on the date the relevant application is lodged, not the date it is decided.
