The influence of divorce just after getting Australian PR on non-principal applicants

The impact of obtaining PR divorce on non-principal applicants requires an understanding of Australia's immigration policy.

Australian permanent resident (P.R.) refers to a person who is not naturalized but holds a permanent visa. Permanent residents can stay, reside and enter Australia indefinitely, and permanent visas are usually valid for five years.

After obtaining a five-year multiple-entry permanent resident visa, it is generally necessary to make the first entry within six months to one year, and the visa will indicate the deadline for the first entry. If you don't enter Australia within the time limit, your visa will be invalid.

You can enter and leave Australia at will after your first entry, and there is no limit to the number of days you can stay each year.

If you do not meet the naturalization requirements or are unwilling to become an Australian citizen when the permanent resident visa is about to expire, please apply for an extension of the visa according to the following circumstances:

1. If you are in Australia and don't plan to leave soon, you don't need to apply for any extension visa. Although your round-trip visa for permanent residents has expired, as long as you don't leave the country, your permanent resident status will not be affected by the expiration of your round-trip visa. When you need to leave the country, you can apply to the Immigration Bureau for an extension of your visa, as follows:

(1) If you have lived in Australia for two years or more in the past, you will get a five-year multiple-entry permanent resident visa extension; or

(2) If you have lived in Australia for less than two years in the past, you can get a three-month multiple-entry permanent resident visa extension; in addition

(3) When the above-mentioned (1) extended visa is about to expire, apply for extension according to the accumulated days of stay at that time; Regarding the extension visa in (2), if you have lived in Australia for two years or more, you can apply for an extension visa according to (1). However, if you haven't lived in Australia for two years, you may not be able to extend it. You must live in Australia for two years or more to apply for an extension. If you leave the country in a hurry, you may lose your visa to return to Australia.

If you are outside Australia, you must apply to the Australian Embassy for an extension before the visa expires. The conditions are the same as above.

The conditions for applying for permanent resident PR in Australia are in line with the current laws and policies in Australia.

1 Public relations is once every five years. After the expiration of five years, you need to re-apply for PRp qualification;

2. This qualification is: In these five years, you have lived for two years (intermittently). If you can't fill it out in two years, you need to prove that you have close ties with Australia (for example, you have foreign trade business in Australia and China, or your children are studying in Australia, and you work in China branch in Australia, etc.). )

3. If these conditions are not met, PR qualification will be automatically cancelled;

Of course, if you fill in four of these five years, you can apply for Australian citizenship. There is no such "five-year" period.

Australia's residence requirements for new immigrants are very relaxed, and new immigrants are not required to live in Australia for a certain number of days each year. Therefore, after obtaining an Australian permanent resident visa, you can go to Australia for the first time, and then you can go to other countries to develop according to your personal needs and settle in Australia at any time within five years.

In addition, Australian permanent residents can enter and leave New Zealand at any time, and even work or live there without applying for any visa; However, New Zealand permanent residents who want to go to Australia must apply for a visa, and only New Zealand citizens can enter Australia without a visa.

The difference between PR and citizenship of Australian permanent residents;

The differences in rights enjoyed by Australian permanent residents and citizens are mainly reflected in five aspects: first, the right to vote; Second, the right to be elected; Third, join the army; Fourth, be elected as a member of the jury; Fifth, engage in some special government work (such as intelligence personnel). These five rights or obligations are not for permanent residents, but for citizens.

In addition, the Australian permanent green card generally only allows holders to enter and leave Australia within five years, and must be renewed after expiration, provided that they have lived in Australia for two years in the past five years. Once you get Australian citizenship, whether you live in Australia or not, you will maintain Australian citizenship for life and be protected by Australian overseas consulates; If the green card holder is sentenced to more than 12 months in Australia, his green card will be revoked and his Australian citizenship will be irrevocable; If one parent is an Australian green card holder, if the child is born in Australia, then the child is an Australian citizen at birth. If a child is born in China, then the child is a citizen of China. Of course, you can apply for an Australian green card later. If one parent is an Australian citizen, no matter where the child was born (such as China), the child is born an Australian citizen.

Therefore, divorce after getting PR is not controlled by Australian immigration law and has no influence on non-principal applicants.
