第四部分 永久居留简介
永久居留的英文是Permanent Residence,所以通常也称为PR。永久居留是一种权利,这种权利让获得永久居留权的人可以在该国永远居住下去,并在许多方面与该国公民享受同等待遇。
澳洲的永久居留权实际是用一张永久居留签证贴在原居住国护照上来体现的。永久居留签证除了可以让你永远居住在澳洲,并可以在5年时间内自由的、无限次的往返于澳洲。同时,澳洲永久居留签证持有者可以自由地到新西兰定居,享有新西兰绿卡的所有权利。
从福利政策的角度来说,新的永久居留签证持有者在最初2年内不得申请失业救济、紧急综合救济和学生津贴,其他福利都一样,如免费中小学教育、学生贷款、免费医疗等。在持有绿卡2年后,就可以享受所有澳洲福利。
澳大利亚永久居民(Australian Permanent Resident.)是还没入籍但持有永久签证者,永久居民可以无限期的在澳大利亚留下、居住和进入,永久签证有效期通常为5年。在获得五年多次往返永久居民签证后,一般须在半年至一年内作第一次入境,签证上会写明第一次入境的最后限期,逾期不进入澳大利亚则该签证将作废。第一次入境后可随意进出澳大利亚,并没有每年规定住多少天的限制。
如果在永久居民签证即将过期时,你还未符合申请入籍条件,或不愿意加入澳籍,请根据以下情况来申办延期居民多次往返签证:
1、你身处澳大利亚境内,短期内不计划离开,则无须申请任何延期签证,尽管你的永久居民往返签证已过期,只要不出境,你的永久居民身份不会因往返签证过期而受到任何影响,当你需要出境的时候,可向移民局申请延期居民多次往返签证,情况如下:
(1)你过去5年内在澳大利亚境内累积住满2年或以上,则可获延期5年居民多次往返签证;
(2)你与澳大利亚有牢固和利益关系,并有不可抗力的原因来解释超过5年不在澳大利亚居住的理由(须提供证明材料),则可获延期五年居民多次往返签证;(3)你过去5年内在澳大利亚境内累积居住1天或以上,并有不可抗力的原因来解释超过五年不在澳大利亚居住的理由(须提供证明材料),则可获延期3个月居民多次往返签证;(4)如你是5年或3个月居民多次往返签证的现有或即将持有者的配偶、子女或直系亲属,你也有资格获得居民多次往返签证(无论你是与你的家属同时申请或在他们之后申请),你的签证有效期将与你家属的签证一样;(5)在以上获延期的五年居民多次往返签证在五年后将面临过期时,届时须按(1)、(2)或(4)的情况申请延期签证,即每5年各须累积住满二年或以上才可一直延期下去,当然,符合(2)或(4)条件的申请人也可获得延期;(6)如没有有效的居民多次往返签证却贸然出境,则有可能丧失返澳资格。
2、你身处澳大利亚境外,须在签证过期前到澳大利亚大使馆申请延期,条件与上相同。
澳大利亚对新移民的居住要求非常宽松,没规定新移民每年须在澳大利亚居住一定日期,而且一个家庭只须一人住满所须居住要求即可全家获得签证延期,所以你获得澳大利亚永久居民签证后,可先到澳大利亚作第一次入境,其后可按个人需要前往其它国家发展,五年内随时赴澳定居即可。
此外,澳大利亚永久居民还可以随时进出新西兰,或甚至在当地工作或居住,无须申请任何签证;但新西兰永久居民若想前往澳大利亚则须申请签证,只有新西兰公民才可免签证进入澳大利亚。
