簽證效期....永久待在澳洲或是五年內自由進出。
As a permanent resident you are permitted to remain in Australia indefinitely. This visa also allows you to travel to and enter Australia for five (5) years from the date the visa is granted. The expiry of this visa does not affect your permanent resident status if you are in Australia. However, if you wish to continue to travel to and from Australia as a permanent resident after the initial visa has expired, you must obtain a Resident Return Visa (RRV). Your eligibility for an RRV will depend on the period that you have resided in Australia.
簽證可以做哪些事？
This visa allows you and any secondary applicants included in your visa application to live as permanent residents in Australia.
Australian permanent residents can:
- live and work in Australia on a permanent basis
- study in Australia at school or university（如果我決定留在澳洲念碩士，學費會便宜很多...可是我一直都想去美國念怎辦勒？）
- receive subsidised healthcare through Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)
- access certain social security payments (subject to waiting periods)
- be eligible for Australian citizenship (其實我拿到PR後一年也有資格拿citizenship呢！可是又得等等等process...）
- sponsor people for permanent residence.

最近這半年移民法規變嚴了很多，很多申請案件都被延遲了。沒想到887簽證會處理的那麼快，我還以為照官網說的至少要五個月哩！

before. But I always think it's a good idea
to apply for it
once you are eligible...just in case, you know. :)

Australia for another
year, at least?
