What does the visa allow?
The permanent residency (PR) visa allows you to live and work in Australia permanently, unless you are a citizen of Iran because this country is subject to special visa conditions. You can travel in and out of Australia as much as you like but if you leave it for more than two years you'll lose your PR rights while overseas. If you go abroad on business or official government business then there will be no time limit when returning. The main condition of holding an Australian PR is that you must hold a passport from another country and return home frequently enough.

Children born outside Australia do not automatically become Australian citizens by virtue of birth alone. They need to apply for Australian Citizenship after reaching the age of 18 if they want this status. Please visit our citizenship page for further information about how this process works. Also see below the list of exceptions under Iranian nationality to understand why their visas are treated differently with regard to travel restrictions。
