457 Visa - Conversion To Permanent Residency

Conversion To Permanent Residency

457 visa holders can convert to Australian permanent residency status. It is common for 457 visa holders to apply for a permanent Australia residents visa with a view to permanently settle in Australia and become Australian citizens.

There has been a recent increase in the number of grants of permanent residence visas to people who last held a Subclass 457 visa.

However there is Australian parliamentary concern regarding overseas agents falsely marketing permanent residency to Australia.

Famous quotes containing the words conversion and/or permanent:

    The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
