If you have any specific questions or require further assistance, it is recommended to consult the official website of the Department of Home Affairs or seek guidance from a registered migration agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=&#8221;There are several pathways to obtain Permanent Residency (PR) in Australia from India. Here are some of the common ways:&#8221; el_class=&#8221;docrkgch&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189):<\/strong> This visa is for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, a state or territory, or a family member. It is based on meeting the points test, having a skilled occupation on the relevant list, and meeting other eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190):<\/strong> This visa requires nomination by a state or territory government. Applicants must have an occupation on the relevant list, meet the points test, and fulfill the nomination criteria of the state or territory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491):<\/strong> This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member residing in a designated regional area. It allows for temporary residence with a pathway to permanent residency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186):<\/strong> This visa requires sponsorship by an approved Australian employer. It involves a two-step process, with the employer nominating the position and the employee applying for the visa. This pathway requires meeting specific skill and work experience requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 187):<\/strong> This visa also requires sponsorship by an approved Australian employer in a regional area. It has similar requirements to the Employer Nomination Scheme but is specific to regional areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Business Innovation and Investment Visa (Subclass 188\/888):<\/strong> This visa is for individuals who want to invest, establish, or manage a business in Australia. It requires meeting specific investment and business criteria and can lead to PR through the subsequent Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 888).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partner Visas:<\/strong> Individuals who are in a genuine and ongoing relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen may be eligible for a partner visa. The pathway to PR involves a temporary visa first, followed by an application for a permanent visa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Talent Visa:<\/strong> This visa is for highly skilled individuals in specific industries who can contribute to Australia&#8217;s economy. It requires a nomination by an Australian organization or a recognized individual in the same field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s important to note that each pathway has its own eligibility criteria and requirements. It is recommended to thoroughly research and understand the specific requirements for each visa subclass and seek advice from a registered migration agent to determine the most suitable pathway based on your individual circumstances.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Apply Now&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1679466431708-d2b27913-5cba&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>Apply for the visa<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Provide accurate information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>See what happens if you <a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/meeting-our-requirements\/providing-accurate-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can&#8217;t prove your identity or don&#8217;t provide true information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apply online<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in or create an <a href=\"https:\/\/online.immi.gov.au\/ola\/app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ImmiAccount<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/applying-online-or-on-paper\/online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Attach documents<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/applying-online-or-on-paper\/online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submit family applications together<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/applying-online-or-on-paper\/online\/how-to-pay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u200bPay the application fee<\/a>.
