Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa (Subclass 191)

The Subclass 191 visa is a permanent residency visa available to individuals who have previously held a Subclass 491 or Subclass 494 visa and have met specific criteria, such as living and working in regional Australia. This visa allows you to live, work, and study anywhere in Australia on a permanent basis.

Key Benefits:

• Permanent Residency: Live in Australia indefinitely, with access to Medicare, education, and the ability to sponsor eligible family members.
• Work and Study Anywhere: Once granted, you can live and work in any part of Australia, not just regional areas.
• Pathway to Citizenship: After holding the Subclass 191 visa for a certain period, you may be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship.
• Family Visa: Your family members can be included in the application, allowing them to enjoy the same rights and benefits.

Visa Requirements

To be eligible for the Subclass 191 visa, you must meet the following criteria:

• Held a Subclass 491 or 494 Visa: You must have held either a Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) or Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional) visa for at least 3 years.
• Lived and Worked in Regional Australia: You must have lived, worked, or studied in a designated regional area of Australia for at least 3 years while holding the provisional visa.
• Income Threshold: You must meet the minimum taxable income threshold for at least 3 years (as specified by the Department of Home Affairs).
• Compliance with Visa Conditions: You must have complied with the conditions of your provisional visa during your stay in Australia, including living in a designated regional area.

At Padmani Migration, we provide expert guidance and support throughout your Subclass 191 visa application process, ensuring a smooth transition to permanent residency:

• Document Preparation: Our experienced team will guide you through preparing all necessary documents, including evidence of your income, residency in regional Australia, and compliance with visa conditions.
• Lodgement of Visa Application: We handle the submission of your visa application, ensuring that all documents meet the Department of Home Affairs' requirements and that everything is lodged correctly and on time.
• Post-Visa Grant Support: Once your Subclass 191 visa is granted, we provide ongoing support to help you settle as a permanent resident, including advice on further migration pathways or citizenship applications.

Common Pitfalls

• Insufficient Income Documentation: Failure to provide adequate evidence of meeting the minimum income threshold can delay or derail your application. We ensure you have all the necessary financial records in order.
