Regional Skilled 487 Visa-work query!!!!

[katyjane]

Hey!

Im just about to apply for the Onshore Regional Sponsored Skilled visa 487 but i have a dilema with the work obligations part. I have just been offered a Graphic Design role (my skill area) hurrah! but it is only part time-3 days a week. Is it right that you can only work full time in your skilled area on this visa? How will this affect me if i obtain this visa? It has an annual salary of $50.000. Would I be able to freelance to make up the hours of a full time week? aaargh!

Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!

Hi Katyjane

I'm afraid I don't know the ins and outs of the 487 visa but I'm just starting to look at applying to employers in Australia myself as I work in Graphic Design/Illustration.
Sorry to reply with a question but how did you go about getting a job offer (if that's not too personal).
I trawl seek every day and all the job ad's say you need an Australian visa to apply.

Anyhow, congrat's on the job offer.

Just one thought. It may not be of relevance but the TRA class 20 hrs as full time.
