Australia Permanent Residency

Australia has always been a popular choice for individuals who desire to migrate to another country.  The country has favourable factors such as a thriving economy which means more job opportunities. Australia promises a better quality of life and a multicultural society where there is peace and harmony.

Australia offers a permanent residency or PR visa to immigrants. The Australia PR visa has a validity of five years. With a PR visa, you can move into Australia along with your family. You can apply for citizenship after living in Australia for three years with an Australia PR visa.

A permanent resident has most of the rights and entitlements of a citizen, however, there are differences:

• A citizen has an automatic right of entry to Australia, however, if a permanent resident chooses to travel internationally, they need to ensure they have a permanent visa with a valid travel authority if they wish to return to Australia as a permanent resident.

• A citizen can vote in Australian Government elections. In most cases permanent residents cannot, however, if a permanent resident was enrolled to vote (as a British subject) prior to 1984, they may remain eligible to vote.

Eligibility for Australian government services and benefits, for both citizens and non-citizens, is the responsibility of the government agency with policy responsibility for the service or benefit.
