Yes, you can, even you have a 489 visa. If you can prove that you meet the requirements even the your income is from oversea.

Hi Dewi, I committed to NT government that I will work in the nominated occupation, will it be a problem when I apply for PR if I don't work in the nominated occupation?

Hi, Mcshadders Your information is very useful. I also have a 489 visa and just arrived in Darwin. My nominated job is Restaurant Manager but it seems hard to find a managerial position as a new guy here. I saw you was a printer but you can take alternative work after you discussed with the NT Skilled migration office. It won't affect your future application for PR (887 visa). I also have same situation as you. Some migration agent told me I have to do a closed related job which I was nominated, but some agent told me that I can do any job. I am confused and I checked immi.gov.au that it doesn't mention anything about the limitation of the job. So are you sure that can apply PR if you don't work as a printer.
