Thanks all. Even though its a bad news but being NZ citizen i can still live in Australia.

My 40th birthday is on May 1 and I will lose age based points after that.

Do I have to submit my application before May 1 for state nomination or does it have to be for visa application with immigration department to keep my points?

Thanks in advance.

I work full time and also GST registered for business. My work tax is deducted by employer. I have to file GST Activity Statement for other business activities that I do part time. Do I file AirBnB income in GST Activity Statement or do I file it in annual income tax returns?

The visa that NZ'ers are issued on arrival in Australia is the Special Category Visa (subclass 444). The conditions of this visa are that the NZ passport holder does not have any criminal convictions. So if this applies to you, then you normally won't be entitled to that visa at the border. Instead, you would have to apply for a visitor/work visa, like any other foreign traveller.

 

A past visa refusal won't normally be a problem but without the specifics of the refusal and any restrictions imposed as a result, then it is not possible to say.

Thanks Captain.

The rejection of PR visa can only be on the basis on not being able to qualify or having enough experience for designated skill from SOL. I asked this question because I vaguely remember a rule where you cannot apply for any visa for 3 years once you are rejected for a visa, not sure if this is correct.

Hello forum members,

I may be getting NZ citizenship in 2 years but planning to apply for Australian PR at the moment. If my application for PR is rejected and I eventually get an NZ citizenship, will that visa rejection cause any issues when I travel to Australia with NZ passport for work or visit?

Thank you all for your replies.

Hello folks,

I am planning to apply for either Skilled Independent subclass 189 or 190. Using online calculators, I get 65 points. I'm not sure how the applications get picked up from pool (do all over 60 points get picked up?). Does anyone know if 65 points are enough to get an invitation to apply?

If they are enough, how long could it take for this much points to get an invitation?

Thanks.
