Hi everyone.
I would like to introduce a kind of blind seer, a powerful diviner, but who has loose his sight. My question is, if that character can actually see thanks to his magic, for example, throught darkvision, see invisibility, arcane sight or similar spells made permanent thought a permanency spell.
Darkvision: The subject gains the ability to see 60 feet even in total darkness. Darkvision is black and white only but otherwise like normal sight.
See Invisibility: You can see any objects or beings that are invisible within your range of vision, as well as any that are ethereal, as if they were normally visible. Such creatures are visible to you as translucent shapes, allowing you easily to discern the difference between visible, invisible, and ethereal creatures.
Thank You

The spells you mention enhance existing visual capabilities, they don't give sight if you don't have it.
Things that might work:
An oracle with the clouded vision curse
Putting on a Robe of Eyes
Remove blindness ;-)

Darkvision, Arcane Sight and See Invisibility do not work for a blind creature. On SI, this is explicit (within your range of vision) and for darkvision it's just assumed.
I'd invent a special spell for it, or use spells that grant other forms of vision than eye-related ones. Spells like Detect Magic, Detect Evil, and Detect Thoughts works for determining where people are and what they do, and there's probably a bunch of 3.5 spells that may grant you scent, blindsense and so on.
Blindsight is what you are looking for. I am not sure if PF has any spells that grant it, I can't think of any. There was a blindfold in the 3.5 Magic Items Compendium that granted blindsight but the range was very limited, like 10 or 20 feet. Other than that you might want to look into the Blind Fighting feat and the two feats in the APG that deal with the same thing. Detect Thoughts will tell you things are around but it doesn't tell you where they are located. The idea of inventing a special spell would be useful too. Most players and DMs don't put much time into spell research but the rules for it are in the book for a reason. It's ok to invent a new spell, maybe one that gives you temporary blindsight, just make it level appropriate and do the research.

Blindness is really a pain, as an NPC who won't be dealing with many mechanics not so much an issue, but if you are actually going to be interacting with the character for any amount of time... Problems.
Auke Teeninga's suggestion of the Oracle is really the best thing you're going to get to what you want and still be usable without a LOT of DM fiat, rules jiggling and reliance on magic items or things not of the PFRPG rules (if that is a limitation). It is also pretty much exactly what you are going for being a caster. Do not try to do it with a wizard as blindsense and blindsight do not allow you the ability to read (an so you can't use your spell book...)
Clouded Vision: Your eyes are obscured, making it difficult for you to see. You cannot see anything beyond 30 feet, but you can see as if you had darkvision. At 5th level, this distance increases to 60 feet. At 10th level, you gain blindsense out to a range of 30 feet. At 15th level, you gain blindsight out to a range of 15 feet.
If you need something other than the oracle, you are welcome to post a bit more about your idea and plans with the NPC, so we can find something that fits.
