Understanding the Remaining Relative Visa Australia Program

This program is a special path for people who want to join their family. It is known as a preferential family visa because it gives a chance to move to people who have no other family outside Australia. When you get this permanent visa, your life changes completely. You can live in Australia indefinitely with your relatives. You get the right to work or study anywhere and use public healthcare. You can even apply for full Australian citizenship after living there for a few years.
