So, you've finally got your Australian Permanent Residency sorted out, and now you're probably wondering, "What's next?" I'm here to guide you through what being an Aussie PR means for you, without all the legal jargon.
Firstly, having your PR means you can stay in Australia as long as you want. No need to stress about visa renewals or extensions. You're free to enjoy the Aussie lifestyle for as long as you please.
But hold on, there's more to it! With your PR status, you're pretty much like an honorary Aussie citizen. You can do most of the things that Aussie citizens can do, like work, study, access healthcare, and all that good stuff. The main thing you can't do is vote in the elections.
Remember that with your PR status, you're eligible to apply for Australian citizenship, after being in Australia for 4 years, and PR for one of those years. It's a good idea to do this, because as a PR, it is still possible that your visa is cancelled. (For example, if you spend time in prison.)
Now, let's talk about travel! With your PR status, you're free to travel in and out of Australia for up to five years. But here's the thing – if you decide to leave Australia for a long time, you might risk losing your permanent residency. So, it's something to keep in mind before you plan that big overseas trip. It is important that after those 5 years, if you do not have citizenship already, you apply for a resident return visa (subclass 155) before you travel.
Getting your Australian Permanent Residency opens up a world of opportunities and adventures for you.
Cheers to being an official Aussie PR holder!
