What is Permanent Residency in Australia?

New Migrants can become a Permanent Resident of Australia in different ways, but the most common for our customers is via the work-stream permanent visa.

The Permanent Residency is different to Australian citizenship, but has some valuable benefits, including the ability to:

  • Remain in Australia indefinitely

  • Work and study in Australia without restriction. With access to free primary, secondary and University education

  • Enroll in Medicare, Australia’s national health care system

  • Apply for bank loans to buy property

  • Sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residency

  • Apply for Australian citizenship, if eligible

  • Travel to and from Australia with a travel facility

  • Attend free English classes

  • Even work in New Zealand

  • Potentially qualify for other government benefits and services.

The primary method will be via the Employer Nomination Scheme via, where your current employer will need to nominate you.

You can also do this via the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa, which will again require your employer to nominate you. The process can be shorted by committing to work in regional Australia for a period of time.

The final worker-based approach is the Skilled Nominated Visa, where a State or Territory Government must nominate you based on skill and contribution to society. You must also be under 45 and score 65 points on the points test to qualify.

The minimum cost of the Permanent Residency visa is about $4,000 to $5,000 for the Fee paid to Home Affairs. You may need extra funds to pay for a Migration Agent, to help drive the process. The processing time is typically between 4-6 months for the Employer Nomination Scheme, and can be longer for the other approaches. You will also likely need to pay a fee to a Migration Agent to manage your Permanent Residency Process.

How does the Permanent Residency loan work?
