Hello, 

If there is an ongoing medical condition which is stable, but requiring ongoing medication ongoing how does it affect visas? Obviously a medical is done... but ongoing treatment will be inevitable.  

Is there a cost limit on medical treatment ? If so what is it or how do I find out? 
If it goes above this does private medical insurance cover suffice? 

There is a PBS list with prices but does this reflect what the government will pay or what the person pays after the government subsidise it? 
 

thanks!

Hi, 

I’m looking into visa options - probably not even applying for several months but trying to get our ducks in a row beforehand. 

Looking at the stats of the skilled 189 visa I’m starting to think the 491 is more realistic (skilled regional) as my points will only add to 80 for the 189, whereas they’ll be 95 for the new 491. 
 

I’m a vet and ideally will move round and locum (I’m happy in regional areas - we don’t want to live in Sydney / Brisbane /Melbourne). 
 

I guess I’m wondering if I get a NSW nominated 491 do I have to stay in NSW? Everything I’ve found online suggests as long as it’s regional Aus it’s ok. I will seek advice from a migration expert but just putting feelers out on here first. We are likely to apply for 191 PR in a few years so I don’t want to breach anything on a 491 visa!! 

Any advice welcome! 
thanks

Hello

I am thinking about future moves to Australia on a 189 visa- is there an upper age limit for de facto partners?

Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

I'm hoping to get a 189 visa and in five years intend to get the RRV and stay in Australia ... My de facto has work commitments for the next five years so we will be to and from Australia. To get the RRV I will meet the requirements but she will not - does anyone have experience with this situation - she has work commitments in the UK until 2020 stopping her meeting the full 2/5 years normally required for the RRV..

If anyone has experience with the RRV and de factos any advice welcome!

Thank you for your help. I moved around lots doing locum work so I didn't get a full 6 months with any one employer.. I will have a think ! From what people have suggested it might not even affect my visa application which is great too.

I will let you know if I need some help sorting it

I was in Australia on a WHV in 2013-14 but have not yet sorted tax returns out for the period I was out there .. I plan eventually to apply for an independent skilled migrant visa 189.. Does anyone have experience of the 189 application process - will they want my TFN from my original WHV year ? I presume I'm going to have to sort my tax out properly and go through all the previous jobs I did while one WHV- which was 2013-2014 across 2 tax Australian tax years .. I'm a vet I did locum work for nine different places and just went on PAYE so I did pay tax but just didn't fill in returns at the end of each tax year. I guess being a Brit I was so used to all that being done for me...

do they go into the previous work and link my TFN for this 189 application? I hope to apply for my 189 visa in 2016 ... But I don't want to apply for my visa if it might get rejected because of any outstanding problems trough not filling in a tax return from my original WHV year!
