Once a 457 visa is granted, is there an amount of money that the applicant is expected to bring with them to the Queensland area to support themselves etc? I know with permanent visas some states can requested to see evidence of $50,000. Anyone know what it may be for a temporary 457 please?

Is there a reason you want to go down the sponsored route rather than permanent?

Only because I'm 44 and done the EILTS test a few times and didn't get 8 in all the 4 sections that I needed to earn points that I need for the permanent visa due to my age. I scored 9,8,7.5 and 7. So close but not close enough. I turn 45 in October so will lose the point I get now for being 44. So I thought do the 4 year sponsorship and hopefully be successful in applying for a permanent after 2 years?

Thank you. I will add Ramsay to my list I've started to compile. Then will send my cv and a cover letter to them.

Does anyone know if there are any nursing sponsorships being advertised in or around the Brisbane area please?
