With a PR visa, you can get the life you've always dreamed of.
Australia’s Permanent Resident (PR) Visa lets individuals live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely. It offers access to healthcare, social services, and a pathway to citizenship. PR holders enjoy most rights of citizens, except voting. Various skilled and family-based streams are available for obtaining PR status.
The 189 Visa is a points-tested permanent visa for skilled workers not sponsored by an employer or territory. Applicants must have an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List and meet eligibility criteria. It allows unrestricted work and residence anywhere in Australia without needing state nomination or sponsorship.
The 190 Visa is a state-nominated permanent visa for skilled workers. Applicants must have an occupation on a state’s occupation list and commit to living and working in that state. This visa grants additional points for nomination and provides full work and residency rights in Australia.
