Permanent Residency Option for Indian Students in Australia

Many Indian students in Australia want to stay and build a life there. For this, they try to change their study visa to a different category visa, i.e., a work visa, which sometimes leads to permanent residency. Some potential Permanent Residency (PR) options in Australia are:

• Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): This is a points-based visa system where students get points based on their age, English language skills, qualifications, work experience, and some other factors. Students don't need a job offer or a sponsorship to apply for this visa type.
• Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): If an Indian student gets a job offer in Australia that is on the Skilled Occupation List, your employer can nominate you for this visa. This is a good option for permanent residency if your profession is in high demand.
• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 190): It is similar to the Employer Nomination Schem; this visa scheme also requires sponsorship, but from a state or territory government in Australia. If you're open to living and working in a regional area students can opt for this visa type.
• Business and Investment Visa: If an Indian student can invest a certain amount of money in an Australian business, they may be eligible for a business or investment visa.
