what the processing time of 489 visa
5 to 8 months after submission.
-
I have a question on state nominated 489.. in order to be eligible for a PR one has to show at least 1 year full time employment in the fist 2 years so can one:
- own and run a business as a partner?
- be a franchise owner?
Would that be considered as full time employment?
Thank you.

Thanks KPG, what are your future plans
@woody2709 we are doing our first landing next week and will have a look at some suburbs, schools etc.. We plan to make our final move in Q4 later this year. Job hunt is going to be challenging so a bit apprehensive about that.
What are your plans like?

This is what I got to know from my agent for SA state nomination. All the best.
When are you making the move? Do you also have the option of working in other low population areas or have to stick to Tasmania only?I'm flying out in a few weeks to Darwin. Not 100% about staying in other areas/states but I'm going to stick to the NT regardless for the foreseeable future.
All the best @woody2709

Hey people apply 489 visa 20 may now waiting time start. Just wondering what’s thewaiting time currently for 489?Thanx
if i am not mistaken it is 5 months for 75% of the applications and go upto maximum of 8 months. It all depends on how complete your submission is and if they dont have any queries then should be straight forward. A few of my friends got it in 3 months.

Absolutely.

I think i can do that only once I move permanently as wont have the time to work on it .. Dont have a UK license.

Hi all.... I just joined to this..
I lodged my application for 489 visa on 24th January...
Co didn't contact... but hc and pcc were uploaded on 20th April as my agent said that all the docs should be uploaded according to the new rules.
So by the end of April all the docs had been submitted..
Still waiting for a good news...
@YGAR 75% of the applications are processed in 5 months and the remaining between 6 to 8 months.. At times the CO wont even contact if your file is complete and there aint any clarification questions.
All the best.

This is my very first topic and I hope to receive some info that can put my mind at ease.
We are a family of 3(1kids) and are working on a migration plan to Adelaide, SA under the sub class via 489 which does not give similar benefits of a 189 or 190 visa category, i.e. education and health benefits.
My question's and concerns are:
- How expensive would schooling and health cover be?
- Can I enroll my children in a public school or does it only have to be a private school?
- What would the health coverage or insurance take care of, only doctors consultations and or medications?
Any additional info that you feel can be of help would be appreciated.
Thank you
@rasika yes as mentioned by @Cerberus1 education wont be expensive in a public school on a 489 but yes health insurance can be expensive. It all depends on what package you choose.
Bupa seems to be the best option and from what I have researched it would cost about 200 to 240 AUD a month for a family of 4.
Wish you all the best. its a good move go for it.

Apply for the TFN once you are resident in Australia. Not while on your validation trip. Its easy to do once you actually move here.
Up to you re the bank account. We opted for a joint one. I think my husband had his own also for a while when he was self employed to ensure things didn't get mixed up and record keeping was a lot easier to manage.
I don't recall carrying anything tbh. I guess its down to you as it will depend what sort of things you will want to do. Perhaps a letter from a landlord to recommend you as tenants (but honestly, not sure if these are really worth anything or not once here, I really don't know). Copy of your visa grant letters in full, including heading and CO signature would be advisable for Medicare sign up (again, do once you actually move here not before).
You are only here for a week. There really isn't much to do other than check out a few sights, hire a car and get your bearings a bit from wherever it is you are staying. The Adelaide area sprawls for a long way up and down the coast and areas will vary greatly. Stop by the CBD for a day out... Lunch, museums, wander the Botanic Gardens, visit the Central Market and so on.
As usual @snifter to my rescue.. Thank you once again for taking the time and replying.

Hello,
We finally have got our grant and have a few questions that need clarifications:
We plan to do our first entry and stay there for a week and return back to ADL permanently by the end of the year and would like to know:
- Do we register / apply for TFN during our first visit or once we move permanently?
- What is recommended, to have one joint account for spouse and myself or better to have two separate accounts? (keeping in mind individual credit score)
- What documents (hard copies)do you think we should carry with us that can be useful?
- What should we cover / do in our first visit, any tips or do's and dont's ?
Thank you,
-

@kunal_85 congrats! Well public transport does not connect the entire length and breadth of the city and probable having a car would be more of a necessity than a luxury. Jobs are difficult to get but definitely not impossible, one just needs to hang in there.. I think August is a good time to arrive.
I too am from Dubai and at present in Adelaide to do my first landing, am here for 10 days and preparing ourselves for the big move in October.
For used cars you can reffer to the below link, this is from the government and what i got to know is a very reliable source of procuring cars and normally come with warranties.
