HSMP

This is an immigration status that can only be applied for by the individual. It is based on a point-scoring system and intended to be purely objective.

Points are awarded for number of years of work experience, income over past twelve months, level of qualifications and graduate or employment status. Those below the age of 28 need fewer points to qualify.

Good quality documentation is essential, and we would expect virtually all applicants to be graduates, failing which they should have several years of relevant experience.
