Permanent Residency in Australia: Pathways and Requirements

Permanent residency (PR) in Australia allows non-citizens to live indefinitely in the country while enjoying many rights similar to those of citizens. There are several pathways available for obtaining PR:

1. Skilled Migration Program: For individuals with skills in demand within Australia’s labour market who meet specific criteria.

2. Family Stream Migration: For partners, children, or other eligible relatives of Australian citizens or permanent residents seeking residency.

3. Business Innovation and Investment Program: For business owners or investors willing to contribute economically to Australia.

4. Global Talent Visa Program: For highly skilled individuals in specific fields who can contribute significantly to Australia's economy and society.

Each pathway has its own set of requirements that applicants must meet before being granted permanent residency status in Australia.
