Due to its simple processes, clear rules, and improved immigration policies, a huge number of Indians are now eager to immigrate to Australia.
According to homeaffairs.gov.au, 6,60,350 Indian-born persons lived in Australia at the end of June 2019, making them the third-largest migrant group in Australia after the United Kingdom and China. This is a short article on how to obtain an Australia Permanent Resident (PR) Visa, which allows you to reside in Australia indefinitely.
PR visa holders also receive a five-year travel permit that permits them to freely depart and return to Australia. Furthermore, as a permanent resident, you have the same privileges and rights as a citizen, such as accessibility to subsidized or free medical care and legal services.

List of Skilled Occupations
Once you’ve decided on a specific PR visa depending on your needs, you must select a vocation from SOL (Skilled Occupation List).
System based on points
Once you’ve decided on a vocation, you can apply directly to Australia’s point-based system. You must submit an Expression of Interest in the Australian Skill Select System online for the same. It is a web-based system that saves and maintains an applicant’s profile information such as name, age, gender, work experience, language ability, qualification, and so on.
The method generates points based on these parameters, with a minimum of 60 points. The more points you have, the more likely you are to receive an invitation to apply for a PR visa.
Character and Health Requirements
To obtain a PR visa, an applicant’s character and integrity must be strong, and he or she must be mentally fit to work and live in Australia.
