π THREE APPROVALS. ONE DAY. AUSTRALIAN PERMANENT RESIDENCY! π¦πΊ
Congratulations to our clients on their subclass 191 visa approvals, granted on 16 September 2026! π
An incredible milestone, bringing greater certainty and the opportunity to build their future in Australia as permanent residents.
What is the subclass 191 visa?
The Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa β Regional Provisional stream provides a pathway to permanent residency for eligible subclass 491 and 494 visa holders who meet the requirements.
It allows successful applicants to live, work and study anywhere in Australia permanently, and potentially apply for Australian citizenship when eligible.
π What helps build a successful application?
β
Getting the timing right β the primary applicant must have held an eligible regional provisional visa for at least three years.
β
Demonstrating visa compliance β keeping clear evidence of regional residence, work and study, where applicable, and meeting the conditions of the provisional visa.
β
Preparing the required tax records β providing ATO Notices of Assessment for three relevant income years. There is currently no minimum income threshold for this stream.
β
Submitting a complete, consistent application β carefully checking personal details, family documents, supporting evidence, and health and character requirements.
Your pathway to permanent residency starts well before you lodge. Early preparation can help identify gaps and avoid unnecessary delays.
At Palmer Migration & Education Services, we provide clear advice, thorough preparation and dedicated support through this important transition.
