After studying in Australia, there are options for permanent residency.
Some students come to Australia and fall in love with the country, deciding to stay and apply for a Permanent Residence Visa once their studies are through.
When selecting a course, it is critical to consider the course’s prospects and chances of obtaining a permanent visa. Looking at our occupation listings to determine which list(s) and visas you come under could be a good place to start. Please keep in mind that, while your occupation may be on the list RIGHT NOW, it may be removed by the time you are eligible for a PR visa or another temporary visa that gets you closer to receiving a PR.
Apart from the course, you select, there are other aspects to consider, including:
- Age
- Ability to communicate in English
- Qualifications
- Experience in the workplace
- Partner’s skills.
