What Is the Subclass 189 Visa?

The Skilled Independent visa is a permanent work visa for individuals who have the qualifications and skills required to fill Australia’s skill shortages.

Benefits of Subclass 189

Stay in Australia indefinitely, with full work and study rights.

The best part of this visa is that, the student as well as the family gets full time work rights. This is a huge benefit to the applicants as then they can work in any field and can earn to repay the loan they had taken for completion of their study.

This visa also allows the applicants to study full time in any other course. Now you may think that why a person will study again if he or she has already studied full time in Australia.

Work and study anywhere in Australia.

Enrol in Medicare and apply for citizenship if eligible.
