  • Candidates have to refer to the State Nominated Occupation List for more details on the minimum points required for your specific occupation.
  • The initial minimum points requirement is 70 points (including state nomination points). Then maybe reduced to 65 and then 60 based on the number of applications.
  • Once the planning level is met, it will be listed under special conditions, and the applicants will only be eligible if they meet one of the special conditions categories.

  • If you are currently working in SA or an International Graduate of SA, a minimum 60 points will be required (including State Nomination Points) 
    (Note: Higher points are not required in these case)
