So, reading the gist of this post, it seems that unless you are a 491 granted critical occupation or have a job offer in a critical occupation, you are unlikely to be granted a travel exemption, would that be correct? I have 491 grant since Feb 2021, though as a Plumber (non critical) for SA, and ready to leave whenever possible. I have been applying to positions in SA, and unless they offer me a job, then my chances are slim.
Any other person know of people's experiences of non-critical occupations being granted travel exemption with or without job offers please? Feeling low with hearing that international flights will not likely resume until well into 2022 or even 2023, until Australia sort out their own vaccine rollout meaning Ozzies can leave and return, but what about those skilled visa holders that can't get in? (the clock is ticking for 491s to meet their first entry point and also overall visa conditions to fulfil for future 191). Need some hope!
