QMAS: use the current assessment criteria
- Since November 2024, the General Points Test uses 12 criteria. Applicants must meet at least six; the former 80-point threshold and scoring tables no longer apply.
- Applicants must also meet the prerequisites for age, financial resources, character and qualifications. Meeting the threshold is followed by selection.
- The Achievement-based Points Test is a separate route with two criteria; applicants must meet one.
