hi all,
I just went through this thread & lot of important info gathered reading the posts from senior members of this thread....I am presently sailing as chief mate on tankers, got my master coc in jan 2020, surfed thru home affairs website to look for options to migrate, 231213 is there in ROL for visa 491 & at present NSW & NT regions are accepting EOI's in this category...I have already sent my docs for assessment from AMSA & awaiting their reply to book my orals, below are my queries regarding this process:
- the experience gained so far from cadet till mate will be considered for final file lodging?(attached screenshot for NSW requirements)
- guidance to asses my BSc nautical science degree from Vetassess to claim 15 points instead of 10 as against master's licence.
- when I get letter from AMSA for orals, do I need to apply for tourist visa or I can straightaway fly without visa, basis on AMSA letter?
I have started preparing for orals & planning to give it from Sydney ....meanwhile if any active members of this forum can help me out on above queries ,I will be highly obliged.
