If you dream of working, studying, or settling permanently in Australia, there is great news for you.
Australia is now offering a visa that gives you Permanent Residency (PR) as soon as you arrive.
You don’t need a job offer, you don’t need sponsorship, and you don’t need to make any investment.
This may sound unbelievable, but it is completely true.
Australia has introduced a special visa for highly talented individuals.
Let’s understand what this visa is and how you can get it.
Which Visa Gives Instant PR?
Australia has launched the National Innovation Visa (Subclass 858).
This visa has completely changed the immigration system and opened new opportunities for skilled people around the world, including Indians.
Unlike traditional work or study visas that require sponsorship from a company or university, this visa is granted to individuals who can prove exceptional talent in their field.
Those selected under this visa receive immediate Permanent Residency upon entering Australia.
What Is the National Innovation Visa?
The National Innovation Visa is a permanent visa for people who have an internationally recognized track record of outstanding achievements.
Australia wants talented people to come into the country, create jobs, and contribute to important sectors of the economy.
This visa is for:
Global researchers
Entrepreneurs
Innovative investors
Skilled professionals
Athletes
Creative individuals
But you can apply only after receiving an invitation from the Australian Department of Home Affairs.
To get that invitation, you must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) explaining your achievements.
If your profile shows exceptional talent, you will be invited to apply for PR.
Benefits of the National Innovation Visa
This visa comes with several major advantages:
Permanent Residency in Australia
Freedom to work and study
Access to Australia’s healthcare system
Ability to sponsor eligible family members
Permission to travel in and out of Australia for 5 years
Opportunity to apply for Australian citizenship later
Eligibility for the Visa
To qualify for this visa, you must:
Receive an official invitation to apply
Submit your visa application within 60 days of receiving the invitation
Apply from India or from within Australia
Show internationally recognized achievements in your field
Have a national-level nominator (Australian citizen, permanent resident, New Zealand citizen, or an Australian organization)
What Is the Visa Cost?
The National Innovation Visa fee is 4,985 Australian dollars (around ₹57,000).
Processing times may vary depending on your application and profile.
