NZ PR to Australia PR

Hi,

What if you have a PR for New Zealand and then would like to convert that to Australian PR? Is that easy to do? Are there any restrictions there? Or would the PR not hold any weightage and we would need to start the procedure in Australia from scratch?

Thank you!

No - your PR status in NZ counts for nothing in Australia. If you are happy to live in Australia on the SCV then the easiest path might be to get your NZ citizenship to qualify you for the SCV in Australia.

Otherwise, if you want to get PR status in Australia, you will need to start from scratch and find a pathway to Australian PR that best suits your situation.

See http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/visa-finder?Purpose=All&Nationality=New+Zealand&ApplyFrom=New+Zealand&Age=All&Stay=All&Length=All&Family=All for your visa options.
