Question

What is the minimum marks in IELTS to get a visa to australia?

Answer 1

It's all a bit complicated and in some cases depends on what visa you have applied for.

For General Skilled Worker visas, you need a minimum score of 6 in each of the four components. This is counted as Competent English and scores 15 points on the Points Test.

Proficient English (7 points in each of the 4 areas) scores 25 points.

For some visas, Vocational English is sufficient. For this you must score at least 5 in each of the 4 areas and you must hold a passport from the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America or the Republic of Ireland.

Concessional competent English is having basic competence in the English language, but your skills may not be consistent across the four areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

To demonstrate you have concessional competent English you must show that you have an average band score of 5.5 across the four IELTS test components.

You will only meet the English language requirements for GSM with concessional competent English if you have:

applied for a Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa;

AND paid a fee to attend an English language course in a participating state/territory.
