Common way to become an Australian permanent resident with a Subclass 462 visa

 

As you know, the Australian Subclass 462 visa does not allow you to stay in Australia permanently.

 

But with more than 10 years of experience in Australian immigration consulting, Mr. Phong Cao states that you can completely apply for an Australian permanent residency while holding a Subclass 462 visa. Here are two ways of doing it.

With a Student visa

The Subclass 462 visa gives you 12 months to work and travel in Australia. When holding a visa, you also have the right to study for almost 4 months. Over time, you will understand why Australia is always ranked first in the list of countries with the best education in the world.

 

After those 4 months are up, if you want to continue studying in Australia, you need to apply for a Subclass 500 visa! When you hold this visa, you will have more time to receive the world’s best education and have the opportunity to apply for a Skilled visa to move to Australia.

 

Not all occupations allow the applicant to continue in Australia after the Subclass 500 visa expires. Because the Australian Government only gives priority to applicants who have studied occupations in the priority occupation group. You can contact VEM for this list.

With a Partner visa

During your stay in Australia with a Subclass 462 visa, if you fall in love with an Australian citizen/permanent resident, and the two of you plan to get married, you will have the opportunity to settle down in Australia under the Partner visas.

 

If you feel that you are not suitable for the above 2 methods, you should contact VEM immediately! Because we also have many other options available that may work for you!

You just need to contact VEM and tell us your actual situation, VEM’s Australian immigration consultant will offer the ultimate solution.
