Things you need to know about Australian Permanent Residency

Australia is the land of dreams. It has been blessed by the rewards of nature and is a technologically advanced, infrastructurally developed, stable economy which also happens to be one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the world. No wonder why every year a multitude of students and professionals travel to Australia with dreams in their eyes.

Thanks to the Australian Immigration programme.

Well, what is it exactly?

In the Australian Immigration Programme, people are allowed to enter and settle in Australia (on a temporary or permanent basis), be it students or professionals looking to kickstart their careers or anyone for that matter. They enjoy all the essential rights of a citizen, without actually being one. A great impetus to the Australia Immigration programme has been provided by the Australian skilled migration initiative under which many overseas students are invited to study in Australian universities and settle down in the country, and thus add to the Australian workforce.

What does Bridging visa mean specifically for overseas students?

While students initially arrive on a student visa, their visa durations might expire, or they are waiting for an application for another substantive visa (like work visa) or renewal of their student visa. In this duration, they are issued a bridging Visa Australia. There are basically six such visa types with different rights and claims entitlements associated with them.
