The Australia Lottery Visa, officially known as the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa, has varying success rates depending on several factors. While specific success rate statistics are not officially published by the Australian government, industry experts estimate that the overall success rate for complete, eligible applications typically ranges between 15% to 25% in recent years.
Success largely depends on meeting the points test requirement, which currently requires a minimum of 65 points, though competitive scores are often much higher. Key factors affecting success include age, English language proficiency, skilled employment experience, and educational qualifications. The visa operates on an invitation basis, where only the highest-ranking candidates in the Expression of Interest pool receive invitations to apply.
Applicants should ensure all documentation is accurate and complete, as incomplete applications are commonly rejected. Consulting with registered migration agents can significantly improve an applicant\“s chances of success by ensuring proper preparation and submission. |
