Australia PR (Permanent Residence)

If you are successful in obtaining a permanent visa for Australia, you will be entitled to remain in the country indefinitely as a permanent resident. General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas for skilled workers are among the most sought-after permanent visas. The majority of permanent visa applications to Australia are for family members.

1 – If you become a permanent resident of Australia, you’ll be able to live and work there eternally. You’re eligible to join Medicare, Australia’s universal health care programme. Additionally, Australian citizens and permanent residents can nominate their qualified relatives for citizenship.

2 – A permanent resident of Australia does not require a work visa to be employed in New Zealand.

3 – A permanent resident is distinct from a citizen of a country. The possession of a passport from a different country is evidence of permanent residence there.

4 – Having permanent residency in Australia also entitles you to unlimited outbound and inbound travel within Australia. A permanent visa allows you to enter and leave the country for up to five years. As long as your visa is valid, you can leave and re-enter Australia as often as you like throughout those 5 years.

5 – Australia’s innovative immigration office has simplified the application procedure to cut down on wait times. However, submitting an application that is “Decision Ready” is mandatory.

6 – We, Equator Visas, specialize in Australia migration, so you can be assured that your application will be in good hands.

The states are already accepting applications from qualified onshore and offshore individuals for their skilled migration programmes for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. However, there are just a handful of states that need to revise their criteria for accepting the applications.
