Mandatory (all 50 required): sponsorship from a Home Office–licensed sponsor = 20, job at appropriate skill level = 20, English at CEFR B2 = 10
Tradeable (20 from one route): salary ≥£41,700/yr & ≥100% going rate = 20; or lower salary combined with a relevant PhD, STEM PhD, Immigration Salary List role, new-entrant status, or health/education shortage role
What VIO cannot assess from your profile alone: 50 of the 70 points require an actual Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed UK employer and a specific job's SOC code and salary — none of which exist before you have a job offer. This system scores the job, not your personal profile, so VIO does not attempt to calculate a score here.
Only where VIO can honestly compute one from what it asks you — Australia has a real calculator in the app. For the other corridors, key inputs (a job offer, an employer's workforce data, provincial nomination status) aren't things VIO collects, so it shows you the real structure and the official calculator link instead of guessing.
Is this page AI-generated?
No. Every category, point value, and pass mark above is individually sourced against an official government page, with a verification date.
Does VIO guarantee my visa or PR will be approved?
No. VIO is not a law firm or migration agency and no outcome is ever guaranteed.
