General skilled migration & your age limit

This is another important topic. I have overseas clients telling me they are interested to apply for either visa 189 or 190. To my surprise , many still think they are less than 50 and they still meet the age criteria to apply for the visa. Prior to July 2017, the age limit for a primary applicant was less than 50 years old at the time of the invite to apply. However, from 1st July 2017, the age limit has been lowered to 44 years old. This means at the time of your invitation to apply, you as the primary applicant must be less than 45 years old.

Please note this is strictly applicable to the primary applicant not the secondary applicant.

A general advice, for those interested in applying for visa 189 or 190, do so asap, before your time runs out and you realised you've missed the age criteria.
