Can I get Permanent Residency in Australia after 40 years?
Well, this is the most common question asked by the aspirants of Australian visa. Department of Home Affairs, Australia follows a point based system that allocated points to the applicants based on age, education, Work experience, English proficiency, etc. factors. The applicants with top score are selected by the government through periodic invitation rounds. You need to score minimum 65 points, however, higher points than this will increase your chances of getting permanent residency in Australia after 40 years.
Since the applicants get points for the age factor, the highest points for this factor can be collected when you are between age group 25 and 33. Post this age group, the points for age factor start decreasing, although, you can still apply Australia PR if you are less than 45 years of age.
Age | Points |
at least 18 but less than 25 years | 25 |
at least 25 but less than 33 years | 30 |
at least 33 but less than 40 years | 25 |
at least 40 but less than 45 years | 15 |
As you can see in the table above your points for age factor start decreasing after 33 years. However, you are still good if you can make up for these points

If you apply for Australia PR after 40 years of age, you need to make sure that you make up for the points you have missed for age factor. What it means is that you need to score high based on other factors, i.e.
Selection factors | Maximum Points can be earned |
Superior English | 20 |
Work Experience at least 8 years | 15 |
Doctorate Degree in Education | 20 |
For bachelor’s degree from a recognized educational institution, you get 15 points. Since, not everyone is able to get Doctorate degree, so you can manage with 15 points and focus on other factors. Receiving the invitation to apply from the DHA (Department of Home Affairs) Australia, also depends on the demand of you occupation in the labour market of Oz.
With new changes in Australia’s immigration point system applicable from November 16, 2019, you now have stronger chance of getting Australia PR invitation. These changes will be applicable to the GSM (General Skilled Migration) visa categories, i.e.
First two are point tested permanent residence visas, while third one is the temporary visa allocated by Australian government for up to 4 years. Subclass 489 Visa will be replaced by Regional Provisional Skilled Work Subclass 491 Visa w.e.f. November 16, 2019.
Let’s take a look at the new changes effective from November 2019:
If you have skilled spouse or de facto partner, you can get 10 points based on the same as per the new changes. Also, if your partner has competent English, you can earn 5 more points. You can also get valuable 10 points for STEM education or having no spouse or de facto partner. All these additional points can make your score high enough, to get Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Australian permanent residency visa from the government of Australia, despite your age being beyond 40 years.
