If I study for 2 years in Australia with student visa, will I be eligible to apply for permanent resident ship?
If I study for 2 years in Australia with student visa, will I be eligible to apply for permanent resident ship?
If I study for 2 or more years can I directly apply for Permanent Resident ship? In that case do I need any work experience for applying for Permanent Resident ship?

No. You must work in the country, or have someone sponsor you. You can not just go from being a student visa to permanent resident.

Studying in Australia does not guarantee that you will be able to apply for a permanent visa: You can only apply if: • your occupation is listed on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL) http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf • you have at least 1 year of work experience (most occupations). Work experience was formerly a separate component on the points test - it is now included as a requirement for obtaining a positive skills assessment for most occupations. • you have obtained a positive skills assessment from the body responsible for assessing your occupation; http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm#a • you have met the 2 year study requirement by completing at least 92 academic weeks of study leading to qualifications in your nominated occupation. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/885/eligibility-study.htm • you score at least 120 points on the points test http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/885/eligibility-table-overseas.htm • you have a score of at least 6 in each of the 4 IELTS components (unless you are from a designated English speaking country). A higher IELTS score is required for some occupations. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/885/eligibility-english.htm • you meet health and character requirements. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/ http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/79character.htm For everything else including costs and how to apply, go to: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/885/
