Introduction of Australian immigrants obtaining green card and permanent residency

English for permanent residence is also commonly called PR. Permanent residency is a right that gives people with permanent residency the opportunity to live permanently in the country and enjoy the same treatment as citizens in many aspects. A permanent residence visa not only allows you to live in Australia permanently, but also allows you to travel to and from Australia freely and indefinitely within five years. At the same time, Australian permanent visa holders are free to settle in New Zealand and enjoy all the rights of the New Zealand green card. So getting an Australian green card is equivalent to getting a New Zealand green card.

Other benefits of permanent residency are the same, such as free primary and secondary education, student loans and free medical care. You can enjoy all benefits if you hold a green card for 2 years.

However, immigrants holding Australian green cards should pay attention to the fact that green cards are generally only allowed 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 (commonly known as immigration supervision). Green card holders who have been sentenced in Australia for more than 12 months will have their green cards revoked.

Therefore, obtaining permanent residency in Australia is what we call immigration, and it is wrong to say that immigrating to Australia is an Australian. If you don't want to be an immigration director, it has something to do with nationality.

Next, nationality. Nationality is related to passport. You still hold a China passport when you get the Australian PR, but once you have Australian citizenship, you will hold an Australian passport and give up your China passport. When Australian PR holders meet certain conditions, they can choose to apply for Australian citizenship, which is a gradual process.

The following rights apply only to Australian citizens:

The right to vote, that is, the right to vote and to be elected;

Join the army;

Be elected to the jury;

Engaged in some special work of the government (such as intelligence personnel);

Enjoy visa exemption for countries above 170;

Real permanent residence in Australia, without any residence restrictions.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages are obvious. Returning to China is very troublesome. If you go back to China, it is troublesome to consider your work. Employment permit for foreigners and permanent residence permit for foreigners.

Children of Australian immigrants belong to nationality: if one parent is an Australian green card holder, if the child is born in Australia, then the child is born an Australian citizen; If the child is born in China, then the child is a citizen of China, and of course he can apply for an Australian green card in the future. If one parent is a citizen who immigrated to Australia, no matter where the child was born (such as China), the child is born an Australian citizen.

Article 2 Reasons for emigrating to Australia

One of the most livable countries in the world.

The OECD surveyed 362 regions of its 34 member countries, and the results showed that Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in Australia entered the top ten. From a national perspective, Australia ranks first among 34 countries.

Second, the quality of education is world-class.

It is said that judging a country's educational strength mainly depends on universities. Australia's eight famous universities attract many international students from all over the world. The top ten universities in Australia include: Australian National University (22), University of Melbourne (42), University of Sydney (46), University of NSW (49), University of Queensland (5 1), Monash University (65), University of Western Australia (102) and University of Adelaide. Almost all the top eight universities in Australia are in the top 100 in the world, and they are distributed in different states in Australia. International students and Australian immigrants can choose their favorite universities according to their preferences and living habits.

Third, one of the countries with social welfare in the world.

In Australia, the national social security system is very sound. College students are generally born with an annual salary of 50,000 Australian dollars, while the average annual salary in Australia is 67,000 Australian dollars. Under normal circumstances, the annual income of the working class can pay the down payment for a house. Moreover, Australia is a welfare immigrant country in developed countries, with a fairly perfect social welfare network covering six states. All residents and citizens who have obtained Australian green card status can enjoy their welfare benefits.

Fourth, pursue a multicultural policy.

Australia pursues multiculturalism. People from different countries and nationalities live together in Australia. More than half a million Australians live in Australia, an Asian community. Chinese people play a very important role in Australian society both economically and politically.

In addition, Australia has abundant capital, healthy company operation and good financial environment. In the recent appraisal by Real Estate Investors Association, Australia was selected as the fifth country with the most stable real estate investment environment in the world. And Australia is a country with negative tax deduction. Both Australian tax residents and non-tax residents can enjoy negative tax deduction. Australian tax residents can enjoy a tax exemption of $65,438+08,200 per fiscal year. Only income exceeding $65,438+08,200 is taxable. The Australian government has also signed comprehensive agreements to avoid double taxation with at least 35 countries, including China. Therefore, any overseas investor need not worry that overseas assets and business activities will be double taxed because they become Australian residents.
