Permanent Residency Visas (Skilled & Employer Sponsored)

Secure Long-Term Stability for Skilled Workers Through PR Sponsorship

For many skilled overseas workers and the employers who rely on them, Permanent Residency (PR) is the ultimate goal. At Resource Visa, we help Australian businesses transition eligible employees from temporary sponsorship (482 or Skills in Demand) to permanent residence through the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS). Whether you’re planning or have a team member ready for PR now, we make the process simple, compliant, and aligned with your business goals.

Note: For exceptional global talent (e.g., high-profile researchers, executives, or innovators), please see our National Innovation Visa (Subclass 858) page.
