Australian permanent resident

Australian permanent residents are those who are not naturalized but hold permanent visas. Permanent residents can stay, reside and enter Australia indefinitely. Generally speaking, a permanent visa is valid for five years.

Note that 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 specify 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.

When the permanent resident visa is about to expire, you have not met the requirements of naturalization, or you are unwilling to become an Australian citizen. Please apply for extension of multiple entry 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 multiple round-trip visa extension. The situation is as follows:

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

(2) If you have a strong and beneficial relationship with Australia and there are force majeure reasons to explain why you have not lived in Australia for more than five years (proof materials are required), you can obtain a five-year multiple-entry resident visa; or

(3) If you have lived in Australia for one day or more in the past five years, and there are force majeure reasons to explain why you have not lived in Australia for more than five years (proof materials are required), you can get a three-month multiple-entry resident visa extension; Or (iv) if you are the spouse, child or immediate family member of an existing or potential holder of a five-year or three-month multiple-entry visa, you are also eligible to obtain a resident multiple-entry visa (whether you apply at the same time with your family members or after them), and your visa will be valid at the same time as your family members' visa; in addition

(4) When the above-mentioned multiple-entry visas that have been extended for five years expire within five years, you must apply for visa extension according to (1), (2) or (4), that is, you must have resided for two years or more every five years before all of them can be extended. Of course, applicants who meet the conditions of (2) or (4) can also extend their time;

(5) If residents leave the country without a valid multiple-entry visa, they may lose their eligibility to return to Australia.

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

Australia's residence requirements for new immigrants are very relaxed. New immigrants are not required to live in Australia for a certain period of time every year. Moreover, only one person in a family who meets the residence requirements can get a visa extension. 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 must apply for a visa to go to Australia, and only New Zealand citizens can enter Australia without a visa.
