Permanent Visa

Australian permanent resident information

An Australian changeless inhabitant (lasting occupant) is the name given to a non-resident who is the holder of a perpetual visa. A changeless occupant can live, work and study without confinement in Australia.

A lasting occupant has the majority of the rights and qualifications of a national, however there are contrasts:

A subject has a programmed rite of passage to Australia, be that as it may if a changeless inhabitant voyages universally, they have to guarantee they have a lasting visa with a substantial travel power in the event that they wish to come back to Australia as a perpetual occupant.

A national can vote in Australian Government decisions. As a rule perpetual occupants can't, be that as it may if a changeless inhabitant was selected to vote (as a British subject) preceding 1984, they may stay qualified to vote.
Qualification for Australian taxpayer supported organizations and advantages, for both residents and non-nationals, is the obligation of the administration office with arrangement obligation regarding the administration or advantage.
