The most common visa options for Australia Permanent residence are as:
Post study work visa: This is a two-year visa that allows students to work without restrictions. Applicants with a two-year full-time degree (usually a bachelor's or master's degree) can apply for this visa. For students who do not qualify to apply for permanent residency because they do not have an employer or a sponsor or the required work experience to accumulate the required points to apply, this visa comes as a blessing.
Skilled migration: International students can apply for PR in Australia under this program provided they have the required skills and work experience. They need not have an employer to sponsor them. However, they need to prove their English language skills and get the required points in the points test.
Employer sponsored visas: This is another popular way to apply for long-term Autralia visas application.
