Want a permanent residency visa?

Are you thinking about lodging a permanent residency application? Here's what you need to know.

What is permanent residency?

If you're granted permanent residency in Australia, this means you can live in the country for an indefinite amount of time.

What are the benefits?

In addition to being able to work or study in Australia for as long as you want, permanent residency makes you eligible for a number of benefits.

According to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, a permanent residency visa allows you to enrol in Medicare, sponsor other, eligible family members for permanent residency, and travel in and out of Australia for up to five years (this is counted from the date written on your permanent residency visa).

It's also brings you a step closer to being eligible for Australian citizenship.

Are you a New Zealand citizen?

If you're a New Zealand citizen, you will most likely receive a Special Category Visa (SCV) upon arrival in Australia.

This allows you to live in the country for an indefinite amount of time, like a permanent residency visa, but it cannot lead to citizenship.
