Top 5 mistakes to avoid in Australian PR application

Here are 5 common mistakes that an applicant must avoid in their Australia PR application:
 

Incomplete or Inaccurate Documentation

One of the most frequent reasons for visa application delays or rejections is submitting incomplete or incorrect documents. The Australian government is very particular about documentation submission and requires all the forms and supporting documents to be complete and accurate.
 

Common Documentation Errors

• Missing Documentation like Birth certificates, marriage certificates, or education qualification proof
• Incorrectly filled application form
• Discrepancies between provided information and official documentation
   

Note: It is necessary to double-check every piece of documentation before applying and create a checklist of required documentation before applying.
 

Overlooking Health and Character requirement

Australia is very particular about the health and character requirements for applying for an Australian PR. If an applicant fails to meet these requirements, the visa might be denied. An applicant must undergo a medical examination by a panel physician approved by the Department of Home Affairs.
 

Standard Error regarding Health and character requirement

• Ignoring the need for a medical examination by the panel physician approved by the Department of Home Affairs
• Avoiding the need to submission of police certificates from any country where you lived for 12 months or more than the past 10 years
• Not to mention, there are no past criminal convictions
   

Not fulfilling the financial requirement

Applicants must have proof of sufficient funds to help them provide financial support for themselves and their dependents. Submitting indemonstrable proof can lead to an applicant’s visa rejection. Proof of sufficient funds is significant for specific Australian visas; for sponsorship visas, it ensures how much they should provide so that the process is seamless.
 

Common mistakes regarding the financial requirement

• Not providing a proper bank statement
• Not meeting the required financial threshold
• Documentation provided regarding the financial proof must be up to date
   

Misunderstanding requirements

To apply for a PR, an applicant must fulfill all the requirements for a Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190). The Australian government uses a point-based system for PR applications, so a positive skill assessment is necessary.
 

Common Mistakes Regarding Skill Assessment

• Submitting insufficient evidence of work experience or qualification
• Not complying with the guidelines set by the assessing authority
• Not researching about the visa
• Not meeting the minimum points
   

Missing Deadlines

Missing deadlines is a common mistake that can seriously affect the PR application. The Australia Department of Home Affairs sets strict deadlines for various stages of the application process.
 

Common mistakes regarding Missing Deadlines

• If the occupation requires a skill assessment
• Submitting the visa application before the expiry date
• Provide all the required documentation
• Complete your medical examination
• Respond to any further request of the Australian government
• Not listing all the important dates related to the application
• Use a calendar app or alarm for an upcoming reminder
