Your Pathway to Permanent Residency in Australia
Are you considering making Australia your permanent home? At LEAMS, we specialize in guiding you through the process of obtaining an Australian permanent residency visa. This comprehensive guide will help you understand the benefits, application process, and the pathway to Australian citizenship. Let's explore how you can start your journey towards a new life in Australia.
Understanding Permanent Residency in Australia
| Permanent Residency Visa: A Gateway to Endless Opportunities | Differences in Rights and Entitlements |
|---|---|
|
Obtaining a permanent residency visa in Australia opens the door to numerous benefits and opportunities. As a permanent resident, you gain the right to live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely. You can also enroll in Australia's public health care scheme, Medicare, and access various social security benefits. |
While permanent residents enjoy many of the same rights as Australian citizens, there are a few differences. For instance, permanent residents cannot vote in federal elections or obtain an Australian passport. However, they are entitled to travel to and from Australia freely and can apply for citizenship after meeting certain criteria. |
Understanding Skilled Visa Categories
The Subclass 189 visa allows skilled workers to live and work permanently anywhere in Australia without requiring a sponsorship from an employer, state, or territory. This points-based visa is ideal for those who possess the skills and qualifications needed to fill gaps in the Australian labor market.
The Subclass 190 visa is a permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory. This visa is perfect for individuals whose skills are in demand in specific regions.
The Subclass 491 visa is a provisional visa for skilled workers who want to live and work in regional Australia. This visa requires either state or territory government nomination or sponsorship by an eligible family member residing in a designated regional area.
