Celebrating Skilled Visa Grantee: Permanent Residency in Australia
Permanent residency offers migrants the freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia. PR holders enjoy some benefits like citizens and have a pathway to apply for Australian citizenship after fulfilling certain residency requirements.
There are various types of Australian visas for individuals who wish to obtain permanent residency. One of them is Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) which served as our offshore applicant’s pathway for permanent residency. She is Franchette, an Electrical Engineer by profession in the Philippines and now a permanent resident in the land down under!
Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa is a permanent visa. You will become an Australian permanent resident on the day your visa is granted. For this visa, you need to be nominated by a state or territory government agency. Each state and territory government has its own criteria for deciding who they will nominate. Depending on the state or territory, you may need to provide additional information and documentation and meet additional requirements.
With this visa, you can:
-
stay in Australia permanently
-
work and study in Australia
-
enroll in Australia's public health care scheme, Medicare
-
sponsor your relatives to come to Australia
-
travel to and from Australia for 5 years
-
if eligible, become an Australian citizen
