How to interpret this result
This checker compares salary against selected 2026 screening thresholds only. It does not assess every permit condition, including the exact occupation, employer, qualifications, contract terms, application documents, or immigration requirements. An employment permit authorises employment; an entry visa is a separate immigration requirement that may apply depending on your nationality.
Job offer requirement: the Critical Skills Employment Permit route requires a qualifying job offer of 2 years.
