Key Benefits:

• Permanent Residency: Enjoy the benefits of permanent residency, including access to Medicare, education, and the ability to sponsor eligible family members.
• No Sponsorship Required: This visa is independent, meaning you don't need sponsorship from an employer or government body.
• Live and Work Anywhere in Australia: You have the freedom to choose where you want to live and work in Australia.
• Pathway to Citizenship: After holding the Subclass 189 visa for a few years, you may be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship.
