Hi Tien, I was in the same situation, My company got shut down all of a sudden and I lost my job. I contacted the visa officer to check my situation. I am on my RSMS-187 visa. They replied back saying my visa is not affected and I can search job in any part of Australia due to COVID-19. It depends on the situation. Please contact them.

What if I dont find a job for 1-2 months in the regional area. And run out of funds to stay.

Hello everyone, This is been a great forum. Could not login for a long time, due to stress at work. My office is going to close down and as a result I will be redundant. Although I know that my work is going to wind down, I don’t have a concrete date yet, do I have to wait for the company to shut down before looking for opportunities. I am on my RSMS 187 visa, am now working from a regional area and its been just 7 months that I have started working here. Should I contact the department to inform the situation and seek approval before looking for other opportunities. Should I be looking for opportunities in the regional area or can I look at other cities. If I am made redundant I will be in a financial difficulty to pay bills, so one of my far relative is in Melbourne, Can I move there and look for opportunities. Thank you.

Thanks Wondering aloud. I have asked the HR to talk to IMMI and let me know the outcome.

Hi All, Its just been a month sicne i joined the company and started to settle in the regional area. I wasnt ready for the below. My HR manager called me today to say that they are shutting down the regional office and moving me to Melbourne which has the head office. They said they will contact IMMI to let them know about this and process the request. The business has been running under a loss for sometime and they do not have the funds to keep the regional office open as the clients have dried up. Please let me know if you have come across any past incidents like the above and aware of resolutions. I had hoped to have complex less stay at the regional centre but now this. Please advise. Regards

asking for additional documents, this is called s56.

thank you. My employer called up Immi to ask and was told that Immi reserves the right to cancel the visa if such a thing were to occur. Atleast the employer and me have clarity on this,

Thanks a ton MilaMocha. The business has now said they will contact immi and let me know what needs to be done.

Thanks as always for your reply. What if the busines still has an office in the regional centre but is asking only me to shift to Melbourne while still retaining the regional office. Would this be an issue?

For me i think so as it tooke me 6 weeks from the time of s56 to my grant. From the forum I see there are few whose s56 was requested and they have been waiting for a long time. I hope they start processing the applications faster.

Thank you for your prompt response. There are no conditions mentioned in VEVO as well Work entitlements - The Visa Holder has unlimited Work Entitlements Is it that the conditons are the ones mentioned in IMMI website that needs to be taken into consideration but not explicitly mentioned in the visa grant or VEVO.

I couldnt find conditions in the visa grant letter apart from "We have granted you a Regional Employer Nomination (subclass 187) visa". Is there any section which is akin to condition but worded differently. Please let me know.

Esteemed members - I sent the email to my employer and my Employer has sadi they are considering moving to Melbourne instead of the regional office due to some office realignment. Would there be any issue in this as long as i work for the same organisation.
