Looking to Apply for PR in Australia from Singapore?

There are various ways on how to apply for PR in Australia. And with hundreds of visa subclasses, it could be very difficult which one to choose and apply for. So how would you know which is the best for you?

“Migrating to Australia from Singapore or from elsewhere is a complex legal process, a successful outcome will often depend on the applicant’s eligibility and the manner in which the application is handled.”

Eligibility Requirements

The requirements on how to apply for PR in Australia will depend on the visa subclass on which you qualify under.

For applicants pursuing Australia PR application from Singapore, the most popular visa program that many are applying for, both locals and foreigners, is the Skilled Migration Program. In this program, a successful application in most cases, will enable the visa grant (and his/her family) to live and work in Australia as a PR.

If you want to apply for a visa for a member of your family (Parent, Child, Partner, Sibling or Relative), you may consider your options under Family Migration Programs.

If you are planning to invest and start a business in Australia, applying for Business Migration will be your main choice. To some extent, this will also let the business visa holder become Australian PR.

If you are already a holder of PR for Australia who needs to renew an expiring visa, you will be required to apply for a Resident Return Visa.

Processing Times

The waiting period for Australian PR application mainly depends on the type of visa class you are applying for. But, in most cases, the process may take 4-12 months for applicants who qualify under the General Skilled Migration Program.

  • The ever-tightening and changing immigration rules and criteria
  • Changes to your employment/business situation
  • Changes to your personal circumstances, health and character
  • Age requirement and other critical legislative factors
  • Australia’s demand and the supply of specific skills
