Permanent Residence is a right affixed into your passport granting you the permanent right to live and work in the Australia. You are eligible for state medical care immediately, but must be resident in Australia for two year‘s before qualifying for social welfare assistance (i.e. unemployment benefits).
You are not permitted to vote as a permanent resident in Australia. After two years, you can apply for citizenship, entitling you to an Australian passport. Temporary residents (those on student and work visas) are generally not entitled to medical care or social welfare assistance at any time and are generally unable to remain for longer than 4 years. These applicants are recommended to take out private health insurance.
Permanent Residence means you are allowed to live in Australia indefinitely, with unlimited right to work, engage in business, own property, study and do most of the things a citizen can do. There are some restrictions on access to social security, particularly in the first two years. Permanent residence can be lost by spending too long outside the country.
The planning level for the migration (non-humanitarian) programme for 2009/10 is set at 168,700 places. Under Permanent Residence visa the numbers can keep changing every year.
The only way you can become a permanent resident of Australia is to be granted a permanent visa by the Australian government, either inside or outside the country. For full details of the requirements for the many different categories of permanent visas, see our immigration page.

Once the Permanent Residence visa is approved, you must be within one year from the date of your medical tests or police certificates, which occur during the processing of your Australian residence visa application. If you deduct part of the official processing time, you will generally be left with 8 to 12 months to land in Australia. The exception is for temporary visas, such as work visas, in which case you may only have a number of months to enter the country.
The initial entry date (stated on your visa) is the date by which you must travel to Australia on your visa. This date is calculated based on the validity of your health and character clearances. These clearances are usually only valid for 12 months.

For all Skilled Migration applications it is necessary to obtain the Skills assessment by a "relevant assessing authority" before we can lodge your visa application.
We will need to obtain the Skills assessment report from the respective assessment body towards preparation of your application for lodgment. Bilimoria & Associate will assist with the preparation of applications for assessment and will advise you of the requirements for Skills assessment.

All skilled migration is now handled by an office in Adelaide, while business migration applications are processed in Perth. Our MARA agent will prepare your application for on-line lodgment and we believe in lodging a fully-loaded application for a successful outcome.
Time is something we can't advise till we decide on what subclass an application is lodged . A large number of variables are involved, including "capping" of the number of visas in a given category to meet annual quotas set by the Australian government.
All we can promise to do is to minimise delays by ensuring that the correct documents and information are provided to the authorities on time.
Most of our applications are lodged as advised with all supporting documents, filled in application forms and meet all the other supporting information such as completion of IELTS, Police Clearance and are lodged on-line and as such if all documents are in order the client doesn’t need to attend an interview. We believe in lodging an application that could be approved by the visa officer provided we have all documents as per their request to avoid personal interview.
Interviews are common for business migration applications and are usually conducted by telephone. Some spouse and other family visa applicants may be called for interview at an Australian Embassy overseas.
You can apply for migration visa to Australia on your own. There is absolutely no legal requirement that you get help from a Consultant / Lawyer / MARA agent or anyone else. You can also lodge your tax declaration without help, do your accounts without help, represent yourself in Court, and do lots of other things on your own without getting help from a professional. In some countries, things have to be done through facilitators to make the process smooth and be sure on the success of an application.
The immigration law is extremely complex and changes frequently. In some instances, failure to provide the correct documents within a given timeframe can result in an application be refused which would otherwise have been successful.
Also, if your application cannot be approved under one category an experienced Consultant / Lawyer / MARA agent may be able to direct you towards another possibility or suggest on how good your chances can be on the required subclass towards lodging your application. Bilimoria & Associate assists you to provide exactly the information expected by the Australian authorities and ensure that the application forms are correctly filled out.
They draft the written legal submissions which accompany the application package and draw the authorities' attention to the relevant law and policies on which your case is based on the information provided by you by our approved MARA agent. We will also advise you of the procedures involved in satisfying other requirements such as health and police clearances, English language tests, etc. Where telephone interviews are required, as is the case with most business migration applications.
Mostly to protect themselves from the HIGH FAILURE RATE: Permanent Residence visa applicants fail to receive their residence visas due to application errors, misunderstandings or confusion that commonly arise during the immigration process. This compares to an average success rate of over 100% for those applicants that lodge their applications through an officially-recognised migration agent.
