Adviser’s comment

QMAS involves selection, and a focused personal statement strengthens your case.

QMAS application process

  1. Assessment and scoring (1–2 weeks): We assess your competitiveness under the points tests.
  2. Prepare and submit (2–4 weeks): Gather evidence of your education, work and achievements.
  3. Selection and approval (Usually about 6–9 months): Through periodic selection and approval; meeting the threshold does not guarantee selection.
  4. Arrival and extensions (Per your visa period): After arriving, apply for extensions when the conditions are met.
