I have emailed skilled.support and they said that with the facilitation letter that we received, we are fine to enter after our initial entry date. Hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation.

We have been granted a 189 visa, however we are trying to make sense of the 8504 condition. On the visa it states "for first entry, arrive by 26th January 2019." It also states "must not arrive after 1st December 2023" I'm writing this in the 1st December 2018 so I'm worried that I have to book a flight to Australia in a month and get time off work, to make it for the January 2019 deadline. I know we don't have to settle straight away but this does seem like a tight turnaround. When do we need to make out first entry? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hello, I'm currently filling in the dreaded Form 80. Under the International travel/movement section, do you have to include time spent in Australia? (As it says countries outside Austraia) Also does it automatically assume you would be in the country of your residence/citizenship? (So in my case it would be the UK) The wording is a touch confusing but I'm guessing I don't need to include every year/visit/time spent in the UK. Any help would be good Cheers

Hello, I have been filling out my EOI for the 189 visa applying as a Secondary School teacher. Under work experience I was unsure how much I need to include. I have 3 years experience in one school which I have an AITSL employment assessment for. However I have other work experience but it is from supply work and teaching in Australia (Working Holiday visa) and recent teaching experience. I'm happy enough to apply with the 3 years experience and just get the points for that, as gathering the evidence for the other schools will be difficult, thankfully I have enough points elsewhere. Can I just put my 3 years experience on the EOI?
