Once you’ve identified an Occupation in Demand from the list above then next up we need to be able to identify at least 65 points on the Australian Immigration Points score list.
In order to migrate to Australia from Oman, you’ll definitely need 65 points though we will always work closely with you to maximize (and build on) your Australian Points Score.

This is of particular benefit to expats working in Oman as it awards points to applicants who have spent time working away from their home country for a certain period of time. For example, if you’re from the UK and you’ve lived and worked in Oman (or anywhere abroad) for eight years out of the last ten then you can add on 15 points to your total.

You can receive five points for having completed a Professional Year in Australia in the four years before you are invited to apply. This excludes Working Holidays.
Once your spouse or partner secures a positive skills assessment (and providing they also have an occupation on the demand list above) then add on a further 10 points.
If they have competent English add on 5 points.
STEM Qualifications are Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics and will generate 10 points.
If you’re migrating to Australia from Oman on your own then award yourself 10 points
Receiving a nomination from an Australian State or Territory brings 5 points. And receiving a nomination from a State or Territory government or sponsored by a family member residing in regional Australia then award yourself 15 Points.
The next step in the migration process is mandatory for all skilled migration visa categories. It’s called Skills Assessment.
Every Profession, Occupation, and Trade has their own Skills Assessment Authority tied to Australian Immigration and it’s their role to say an applicant is who they say they are, and has the right skills, experience, and qualifications.
Lets Go Global has an enviable 100% success rate in most occupation codes and have subject matter experts in every occupation to ensure this success rate continues.
With a positive skills assessment, it’s time to lodge your Expression of Interest (EOI). It’s important we make this EOI as strong as possible because it’s the details in this declaration that Australia uses to decide which applications are going to receive their Invitation to Apply.
An Invitation to Apply (ITA) can be best described as approval in principle of your visa, allowing you to migrate to Australia from Oman.
With an ITA in hand, it’s time to complete the final complicated stages of the Australia Visa process and to complete health checks and medicals.
Once your Australia visa is granted you’re all set to make the move to Australia from Oman. You don’t need to move immediately (though most do) and you have up to 12 months to activate your Australian Permanent Residency Visas.
On average do allow a year for the process from start to finish. Sometimes it happens sooner, sometimes later though one year is a good benchmark to keep in mind.
