WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Hi all,
Love the site,dont really post that much but love reading all your post and they have given me lots of great info but I have a question and I can't seem to find the answer so I was hoping someone might be able to help.
We are hoping to get to oz usng a sponsored provisional 496 visa which means we will have a 3 yr visa,have to live in a designated area for 2 years and must work in the designated area for 12 months of that 3yrs.
After doing this we will get a permanent residency visa,does anyone if there is any restrictions with this type of visa with regrds to employment,being self employed,benefits or being able to buy property etc or in fact any other restriction which maybe I have not thought of before we actually get permanent residency?
Cheers
Ian
