2025–26 Migration Program prioritises skilled visas. The Department of Home Affairs continues to weight the planning levels toward skilled migration, with most invitation rounds for subclass 189 clearing at 65–75+ points depending on occupation. Use our Australia points calculator to estimate your score.

Why migrate to Australia?

Australia offers one of the most respected points-tested immigration systems in the world through SkillSelect. Skilled professionals submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and the highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency.

With the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program — subclasses 189, 190 and 491 — plus employer-sponsored routes, Australia attracts thousands of UAE residents each year drawn by its high salaries, world-class cities and outdoor lifestyle.

The Migration Station prepares your skills assessment, optimises your points score, and lodges a strategically timed EOI to maximise your chance of an invitation.
