Student visa to PR visa

Converting a student visa to a permanent residency (PR) visa in Australia typically involves transitioning through a skilled migration pathway or a family migration pathway, depending on your individual circumstances. Here are some common pathways from a student visa to a PR visa:

  1. Skilled Migration Pathway:
    • Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189): This visa is for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, a state, or a family member. To be eligible, you must meet the points test criteria and have an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
    • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190): This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government. To be eligible, you must meet the points test criteria and be nominated by a state or territory government for an occupation on their skilled occupation list.
    • Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491): This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible relative to live and work in a designated regional area for up to five years. It can lead to permanent residency through the subclass 191 visa.
  2. Employer-Sponsored Pathway:
    • Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa: This visa allows skilled workers nominated by an approved Australian employer to live and work in Australia permanently.
    • Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187) visa: This visa allows skilled workers nominated by an approved Australian employer to live and work in regional Australia permanently.
  3. Family Migration Pathway:
    • Partner visa (subclass 820/801 or subclass 309/100): If you are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a partner visa that leads to permanent residency.
    • Child visa (subclass 101 or 802): If you are the child of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a child visa that leads to permanent residency.
  4. Business or Investor Pathway:
    • Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) visa (subclass 888): If you have successfully managed a business or made a designated investment in Australia, you may be eligible to apply for this visa to obtain permanent residency.

It's essential to carefully review the eligibility criteria and requirements for each pathway and seek advice from a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer to determine the best option for your situation. Additionally, meeting English language proficiency and health and character requirements is often necessary for most PR visa pathways.
