What's the difference between Australia 1 visa and PR?

Australia's 1-year visa and PR are both very common visa modes in Australia, and you can choose freely for different purposes of entering Australia. So what's the difference between them? Let's share with you the detailed analysis and handling process.

What is PR?

PR refers to the permanent resident of Australia. This resident is not naturalized and can only be regarded as half Australian. PR visa holders can stay and live in Australia indefinitely and enter repeatedly.

The p>PR visa is generally valid for 5 years, and generally requires entry in the first year after obtaining the visa, and the last entry time will also be marked on the visa. If it exceeds the time, the visa will be invalid. If the five-year period expires, you can apply for naturalization or renewal.

I believe you have seen that PR is an immigrant visa.

What is a 1-year visa?

A 1-year visa is a tourist visa with a validity period of 1 years. You can travel to and from Australia many times in 1 years without applying for an Australian visa frequently.

The maximum entry time of this 1-year tourist visa can't exceed 3 months. You can leave after almost 3 months and return again after a while.

At present, the Australian side has not stipulated the time interval between departure and entry, but officials suggest that we try to control the time as long as possible.

At present, this 1-year visa is only available to China tourists in Australia. Due to the trial operation stage, the government will also open up a green channel to apply for a 1-year visa for everyone for 48 hours.

The basic fee for applying for a visa is 135 Australian dollars, and there is an additional fee of 1, Australian dollars.

Holders of a 1-year tourist visa cannot receive higher education in Australia and cannot enjoy social security benefits in Australia, which is also the biggest for a 1-year visa and a PR visa.
