Permanent Residency
Build a Secure and Lasting Future in Australia
Why Choose Permanent Residency?
Becoming a permanent resident is not just a visa upgrade — it’s a life-changing milestone. As a PR holder, you enjoy security, independence, and the ability to plan your future without limits. You gain access to healthcare through Medicare, the right to sponsor eligible family members, and a clear pathway to citizenship. PR status also brings peace of mind, allowing you to live anywhere in Australia and enjoy the benefits of a stable lifestyle. At Malhotra Migration, we take the time to understand your goals and identify the most suitable PR pathway. Whether you’re applying through a skilled visa, nomination, or regional program, we ensure every detail of your application meets current immigration standards.
Pathways to Australian Permanent Residency
Australia offers multiple pathways to achieve permanent residency. Each option is designed for skilled workers, regional professionals, and individuals nominated by Australian states or territories. Below are the key visa categories that can lead you to PR status.
Skilled Independent Visa (189)
The Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) is for skilled workers who do not require sponsorship by an employer, state, or relative. This points-based visa allows you to live and work permanently anywhere in the country. Points are awarded based on age, skills, education, experience, and English proficiency.
It’s ideal for professionals with occupations listed on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Once granted, this visa gives you full work rights, access to healthcare, and the opportunity to apply for citizenship after fulfilling residency criteria. We help you calculate your points, gather documents, and prepare a strong, error-free application.
Skilled Nominated Visa (190)
The Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) is a points-tested visa for individuals nominated by a state or territory government. It grants permanent residency upon approval and provides additional points for applicants who receive a state nomination. This program targets skilled professionals whose expertise meets specific state workforce needs.
Applicants must commit to living and working in the nominating state for a minimum period. We assist you in identifying suitable states, preparing nomination documents, and maximizing your chances of success through a well-structured application.
Skilled Regional Visa (191)
The Skilled Regional Visa (subclass 191) allows individuals who have previously lived and worked in regional Australia on eligible visas (like 491 or 494) to apply for permanent residency. It rewards those who contribute to regional growth and meet specific residency and income requirements.
This visa encourages skilled migration to less-populated areas, ensuring balanced economic development. Our experts guide you through eligibility, documentation, and submission, ensuring every criterion is met for a successful transition to PR.
Skilled Work Regional (491)
The Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491) is a provisional visa that provides a pathway to permanent residency. It allows skilled workers and their families to live, work, and study in designated regional areas for up to five years. You must be nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member residing in a regional area.
This visa helps fill labor gaps in regional Australia while giving applicants valuable work experience that leads to the 191 permanent visa. At Malhotra Migration Solutions, we manage every detail — from nomination and documentation to long-term migration planning.
Benefits of Australian Permanent Residency
Permanent residency brings a world of benefits, allowing you to live freely and enjoy stability while pursuing your goals.
- Full legal right to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia.
- Access to public healthcare (Medicare) and world-class education for your family.
- A direct pathway to Australian citizenship after meeting residency conditions.
PR status also provides peace of mind for families. Children born in Australia automatically gain citizenship, and you can sponsor family members to join you. It’s more than a visa — it’s the foundation for a secure and fulfilling future.
