Ok ,thanks for clearing that up for me.

Sorry ,I don't understand,It is a 4 year visa and as far as I know as long as I live in a regional area for 2 years and work in a regional area for 1 year ,then I can start looking for work in a none regional area .

Hi there, I have just received my 489 regional visa and I'm planning on arriving in Australia early next year ,I am a welder and was planning on going to live in Mandurah area.I have to work in a regional area for a year and when looking for jobs online there doesn't look like there is a lot of work about.Was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction where there could be more work about for welders.

Hi again ,could the interest rates be lower if myself and my wife were both working and putting down substantial deposit .like 30% of asking price..or would you recommend renting for 2 years until I got my pr .

Hi all, we will be arriving in Perth at the end of year and was just wondering if you can buy a house on a 489 regional visa,obviously depending on having a steady job and a substantial deposit and have built up sa good credit rating.

Hi there,no I can go anywhere in Australia as long it is regional ,i have to live for 2 years and work for 1 in a regional area ,I just wanted to go to Perth because I've been there before and have friends there but I have to be employed for the best part of 2 years between myself and my wife before we can get our pr.Thanks for reply ,I'll look at Adelaide ,thanks again.

Hi all,I'm going to be arriving in Australia around the end of year on a 489 regional visa and had my heart set on meadow springs or mandurah area wa but there is not a lot of work about for welders.If anyone out there knows of any nice regional areas with welding jobs ,it would be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.

Ha,thanks again VERYSTORMY ,medicals should be fine and I have no criminal record that I know of lol.So hopefully be all good .

Hi there,I've revived my invite and lodged my application for 489 regional visa .Do most visas get granted at this point or is there still a number of things that can trip you up ?I have starter to get my hopes up for a move at the end of the year but don't want to get carried away with things ,can't help myself.

Thanks for that ,if I can't get work as a welder I'm willing to do anything it takes ,thanks again.

Thanks for the reply VERYSTORMY,could you recommend any other nice places to live in a regional area where there is is but more work about?

Hi,I'm going to be arriving in WA at the end of the year on a 489 regional visa and I am thinking of Meadow springs ,Mandurah area.I am a welder and my wife is a planner for the NHS .Anyone out there that can give me some advice on the job situation,would be appreciate .

Hi all ,I've just received my EOI for my 489 regional visa and wondering if anyone out there could give me some advice on nice regional areas to live in WA .

Hi ,Any welder a out there give me some info about the skills test as I am waiting on a date to sit it .

Hi there I have just started my full visa application for perth ,I am a fully qualified welder with 6g codings in stick flux core and i have just moved on 2 pipe clad welding .if anyoe knowes of any companys taking on 457 visas I would love to hear from you as I dont think I can wait the time it takes for the full visa ..Thanks

Thanks for that , I'll have a look at some of those recommended and I will get there in the end ...

Hi,I was over in perth on a 457 visa 2 years ago and now i am back home in Scotland just about to start my full visa application.I have booked my general Ielts test for next month and i was just looking for some tips or anything that could help me in any way as i heard it can be a bit tricky.

That's good ,2 years is just about the right time frame for me to get everything in place .Hope it works out for you.

I would have tried it myself but just haven't got the time just now ,how long did it take you?

Thanks for that ,that sounds good enough for me .We are going to get the ball rolling at the end of the month and all being well we will be in Perth in two years time ..That's if I pass the IELTS test which won't be easy as you can see with my grammar.

Hi,I am just about to start my full visa application I am from Scotland and was going to use a company from Edinburgh called oe overseas migration .If any one has used them I would like to hear how you got on with them and how things went ...Cheers

Thanks for that ,I want to go back to Perth because I have friends there but think I would give Sydney a go for my wife as she has family there ,however unsure how employment is there .

Just wondering if there is much work for welders on Perth at the moment.

I am from coatbridge so Edinburgh would not be a problem .I have been on looking at a few but would rather use a agent that someone has used and can recommend them .

I would rather stick with Perth to be honest ,although I would possibly give nsw a go as my wife has a lot of family there.Could you recommend any agents I could use .Dont no if there is a visa when you do not have to sit the ILTS test as it looks to be a bit of a pain.
