Navigating the Path to Permanent Residence for Visa Applicants Over 45

If you’re over 45 and dreaming of making Australia your permanent home, you’ll be pleased to know that recent changes in Australia’s migration system have created new opportunities. The Australian government is committed to making it easier for skilled workers to achieve Permanent Residence (PR), and these changes benefit individuals in various age groups, including those over 45.

Applicants will require employer sponsorship.

Understanding the Changes

Starting from November 25, 2023*, Australia has introduced a two-year pathway to PR for high-income earners aged 45 and over.   This is a two-year reduction from the current four-year pathway.   This means that if you meet the income criteria, you can now pursue your PR dream with a clear and expedited process.

This new opportunity offers a ray of hope for those over 45 who want to make Australia their permanent home. It’s an exciting time to explore your options and start your journey towards Permanent Residence.
