Australia immigration and citizenship

Australia is regarded as one of the largest countries in the world. Australia is known for its diverse culture and breathtaking landscape. Australia is ranked as the 8th happiest country in the world. Australia has over 800,000 job opportunities for skilled professionals.

 

Australian permanent residency is given to candidates who have a permanent residence visa. However, candidates with Australian PR do not have Australian citizenship.

 

Australia PR and Australian citizenship are two different entitlements that an individual can receive based on his preference. An individual can hold an Australian PR and reside there for five years. Later, based on his eligibility, the individual can apply for Australian citizenship.

 

Australia PR offers many options for applying for a PR visa. An Australia PR visa allows an eligible candidate to become a permanent resident in Australia.
