Would I be considered an Australian "permanent resident"?
Find answers to your legal question.





Would I be considered an Australian "permanent resident"?

I'm a New Zealander who moved over to Australia in 2008 to do my 3 year PhD. I'm obviously being taxed as a permanent resident in Australia.

Am I therefore classed as a permanent resident? I need to know for a form I am filling out.

I am getting confused responses from friends I have asked about this. Please only reply if you are sure, or have some personal experience.

Note: I am not asking about Australian citizenship, I know I would need to apply for that..

You MAY be eligible to for australian permanent resident BUT it depends on if you moved there before or after February 2001.

If you moved to Australia after February 2001 then you will need to officially apply for PR status first BEFORE you can be eligible for citizenship.
