Personally if I was an employer and had gone to all the trouble of bringing someone out on a 482 visa and she decided to get pregnant I wouldn’t be particularly happy

You definitely have a valid point re misinformation. When I was considering moving here (already had the job offer by this point) the age for 186 or 187 can’t remember which one it was was dropped to 45 literally a week before I applied for my visa which ruled me out for the pr visa.i knew this of course, partly through this forum, however the recruitment consultant was adamant I was still eligible, complete nonsense of course. I do still have an option for this visa due to my earnings being above the fair work high income threshold, but I haven’t decided what to do yet. I still have almost two years left on my 457. I may go for the 186 or get another four years on a tss who knows. Either way I’m pretty relaxed about it And apologies again I didn’t mean to insult you

I do agree to a certain extent and apologies I didn’t mean to insult you I just think sometimes you seem to be one a one woman crusade at times to dissuade people from migrating Personally I’m here on a 457, the conditions of which I researched fully before I decided to come here, I’d guess that most people on here who ask about it have done the same

Misery guts Marisa strikes again

Well said Bob There are some real misery guts on here, it’s almost like they see themselves as some sort of amateur border security To the OP check if you can get a visa first. If you can then go for it, it’s well worth the adventure

Marisa I wish you would make an attempt to post more accurate information A temporary visa is not a one off. It is possible to apply for another when it expires

Thanks folks for that It’s a couple of years away yet but just wanted a heads up on what might be in store

Out of curiosity is the process for renewal more straightforward than that for the first one? Or is it an identical process? By renewal of course I mean if your 457 is coming to an end and you want to apply for the new tss visa Does your employer have to go through the nomination process again? How soon should this process start before expiry of a current 457?

I would say most places would be better than point cook [emoji23]

Nowhere in the OPs initial post did she mentioned their ages

Lol and why would that happen?

I would t normally comment on this but it’s weird that you have started a second thread on the same subject with the same information

Definitely open to both probably more so the Sunshine Coast any suggestions for location?

Pretty rude of some folk to be banging on about bag searches all through the guys thread I know nothing about welding mate but sounds to me that you are looking to move for all the right reasons. Just make sure your partner is fully on board as it’s likely to be head down arse up for the first wee while

Nah it’s not for me Also I will still be working so will need a home office

Great thank you

Lot of supposition going on there Alan. Anyway the op should check into all of these things before deciding. Btw I live in geelong, it’s a fantastic place to live

Sounds interesting Any suggestions for resorts just to have a quick look at?

Anyone who thinks geelong is an hours drive from Melbourne in the morning is off their trolley.

Hi folks looking for input and advice. I live in geelong but am looking to buy a second home somewhere up north to live in the winter. Probably do a six month six month split. I don’t have too many criteria as yet but the June temp needs to be around 25 C Would rather steer clear of the big towns if possible oh and needs to be no more than an hours drive from an airport with flights to tulla. Also needs to be on or very near the coast All suggestions welcome thanks

Hi Not wanting to go into too much detail here but could someone advise on the process for transferring a 457 to another employer? My company are looking to recruit someone who is currently on a 457, less than a year into a four year visa. Do we go through the process as though we were bringing someone new into the country? Ie go through the nomination process and then if approved apply to have this persons visa transferred to us? Also while the process is ongoing would their current employer know this process was ongoing? Very important that they don’t for obvious reasons Also how would any possible transfer affect them going for pr? Thanks

How bloody hot is melbourne today? And tomorrow is likely to be even hotter

Marisa you really can be a fount of misinformation on here at times

Hmmm I haven’t received anything I’ll make an appointment at the docs

When you move to oz are you automatically put in cancer screening programs as per the uk or do you actually have to register? Male here just turned 50
