Thank you for your responses
I am currently a UK tax payer, I do not pay any tax to Qatar as I am just working there, travelling back to UK on my time off
I aim to work for this UK company while living in Australia, flying from Australia to Qatar for my work.
At first I would continue to pay UK tax I guess, until I transfer my pay to my Australia bank account as soon as possible
I am aware of the restrictions regarding being in/out of the country when applying for citizenship, nearer that time I could easily have an Australian employer, working in Australia, so hopefully should be no issue there
Any more information and thoughts really appreciated, keep it coming
Best regards, Kirk

hello all at pomsinoz
here is my situation, any inforamtion and advice on this greatly appreciated!
i am soon to be getting my 189 visa, my family and i intend to move over to perth around January 2016
i currently work for a UK company but actualy always work in Qatar
when we move to oz in January i am hoping to continue working in Qatar for the UK comapny, is this ok?
i could continue to get paid in to my UK account and transfer the money to oz, but eventually get paid in to my oz account direct once i have everything set up, is this also ok?
thanks in advance for any help on this!
kind regards, kirk

hello all at pomisoz
i have recently applied and paid for in full my 189 visa for myself, my wife and 2 daughters
we are/was very close to booking our medical checks, but we now think my wife is pregnant!
so we/my wife can not complete the medical checks due to this
my big question is...... is it ok to postpone the health checks for 10 months approx and also add the new arrival on to our 189 visa application once he/she arrives???
any help on this matter greatly appreciated

hello
I have just applied and paid for my 189 visa
on my immi account it now says in the actions section to upload documents like police checks, health checks, ielts, skiils assessment etc etc, but it only says recommended next to them, not required, so do I go ahead and book these checks and get them uploaded asap or do I wait for them to tell me when to get the checks?
any help on this greatly appreciated

am I right or wrong in thinking my wife doesn't need t do ielts???

Hello all at pomisoz
Are ImmiAccount and Skillselect 2 seperate accounts?
as I have been invited to apply for my 189 visa but I am having major trouble accessing my skillselect account to apply for it, when I attempt to log in it just takes me back to the home page,
I can log in to my immiaccount but it has nothing about my 189 visa on there,
my 60 days to apply are slowly but surely running out
any help on this greatly appreciated
thanks, kirk summers

hello all at pomsinoz
I am in the process of applying for my 189 visa, I have been invited to apply
there is myself, my wife and my 2 daughters
I believe it takes about 6 - 9 months to get visa accepted then you get a year to go over to oz to validate the visa
if in this year and 6/9 months we have another baby so there is actually 5 of us rather than 4 how does this affect the visa?
any help on this greatly appreciated

haha yes i admit it would be a bit of a killer to turn around and fly back straight away, we would have a family holiday though if we was to do ozmaniacz's suggestion!
if i wasnt to accept this invitation of 189 visa at the minute and re-apply in a couple of years, does it go against you when you re-apply because i have already had an invitation that i didnt take up???
thanks, kirk
-
brilliant!!! thankyou so much for all this info ozmaniac!!!
last couple of questions i promise...........
1. once i have been granted my 189 visa, how long do i have to go over to oz to validate the visa?
2. the 189 visa is going to cost me around £4000, do i have to pay the full amount on application of the visa?
thanks again for all the info....i really appreciate it!!!
regards, kirk
-
really appreciate that advice, its got me thinking totally different about my whole situation and i am going to try and do what you have suggested ozmaniac
does it not matter how long i am out of the country after validating to near the 5 years? i thought i had to be in the country mainly and working in the country in those 5 years?
thankyou, kirk

hello all
how long does the invitation to lodge a Skilled - Independent (Subclass 189) (Permanent) visa application last???
as we was hoping to move this year but due to a few reasons it is going to be more like 3 years, will the invitation still be valid then? or will i have to re-apply?
thankyou for any help on this

hello all
I passed my skills assessment with vetassess last year, we was planning on moving out to oz this year, but due to circumstances, we are now looking to go over in 3 years, will my skills assessment still be valid? I hope I would not have to do it again, is there an expiry date if not used for a long period?
thankyou for any help

hello all at pomsinoz
will the recent government 457 restrictions effect 189/190 visa applicants or workers/families that are already in oz on the 189/190 visas???
i know it is not a new thing that the government have been clamping down on companies using the 457 visa, but it has only recently started getting publicised here in uk
any information on the matter greatly appreciated

hello all
i will soon be in the process of applying for my 190 visa, after my skills assessment
if i was to get offered a 6 month contract on the 457 visa while i was waiting for my 190 to be processed would this be possible? would it effect my 190 visa if i was to accept the short term 457?
thankyou for any help on this subject

OK Thank you Bungo
This is the kind of information I was needing to know
I will follow your advice and speak to an accountant and aim to get paid to my Australian account (and pay Australian tax) immediately upon arriving there
