Thx. I will fill the form 80. Should I fill the form 1221 as well for myself and partner? Just to clarify that we originally thought that form 80 and 1221 not required for British citizens. But will do so now, thanks to all the comments here.

Thanks mate.

Thx Paul. You mean now they are being asked from all 190 applications? Should I fill both form 80 and form 1221 for myself and my partner? Thx.

Hi, When we submitted the 190 visa application, there was no mention of Form 80 and Form 1221 under the step by step process in 190 Character documents section. However, I recently noted that lines below have been added it has been added in 190 page under "Step 2: Gather your documents > Character documents". I have read in some forums that these forms are only required if the case officer asks for them but reading the 190 visa page, it looks as it now its required for all. But I am sure it was not there when we applied in March 2020 else I would have noticed it at the time. Link: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-nominated-190#HowTo Step 2: Gather your documents > Character documents Complete and provide the following forms: Form 80 Personal particulars for assessment including character assessment Form 1221 Additional personal particulars information Any suggestion if rules at the time of 190 application will apply in which case form 80 and Form 1221 were not mandatory. Or now they are being asked by case officer for everyone? Thx.

Hi, Congratulations to your friend for getting the 190 approved. It would have been quite a pleasant surprise to suddenly see status from received to finalised. All the best for journey ahead. Did your friend had to fill the Form 80 and Form 1221? Thx.

Thx a lot Paul for reading the post and taking time to reply. So, the fact that the vivo does not explicitly mention "Business allowed" is not of any concern? Or is it the case that "business" is kind of work and hence included in the "The Visa Holder has unlimited Work Entitlements" clause? Is there some link immi.homeaffairs.gov.au website mentioning this? Thx again.

Hi, We recently arrived in Australia on TSS 482 (my partner is main applicant for TSS 482 visa, I am in Australia as a dependent/secondary applicant). Below are the details of my my visa as mentioned on VEVO. Am I allowed to setup a new Private Limited company in Australia and do business? My visa does say "unlimited Work Entitlements" but it does not explicitly mention "allowed to setup company and do business". Hence, just thought to confirm before I setup my company and do consultancy work through it. Also, our visa is only for two years. Although we will get visa extension and PR, what happens to the company if we leave after two years? Visa class / subclass: GK / 482 Visa stream: Medium-term Visa applicant: Secondary Work entitlements: The Visa Holder has unlimited Work Entitlements Study entitlements: The Visa Holder has unlimited Study Entitlements Thx for reading my post.

Hi, We recently arrived in Australia on TSS 482 (my partner is main applicant for TSS 482 visa, I am in Australia as a dependent) and took the private insurance as required by the condition in the TSS 482 visa. However, my understanding is that if we get medicare then the cost of private insurance will decrease. So, we are exploring to apply for medicare. We are both from the United Kingdom which has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Australia. We got British passports and were living in the UK before moving to Australia. The TSS 482 visa has "Visa conditions 8501 - Maintain health insurance". I submitted the PR 190 application in March 2020 (I am the main applicant, partner as dependent). As we are now in Australia, we are eligible for Medicare under "Have applied for permanent residency" category. My queries are below: 1. Can someone confirm that we are eligible for medicare because we got British passport and were living there before coming to Australia? I think we are, the reason I am doubting is because of the condition on our TSS 482 visa "Visa conditions 8501 - Maintain health insurance". Could it be that the medicare card on Reciprocal Health Care ground is not valid if someone is on TSS 482 visa? 2. Assuming we are eligible for medicare from two routes (reciprocal arrangement and via Applied for PR), which route should we choose to apply for medicare. My PR application is in the pipeline and I do not want to have any negative effect on our PR application because of medicare. If there is even 0.0001 % chance, then we are quite happy not to take medicare and continue the private healthcare insurance. 3. I rang the medicare helpline number and the agent did not really seem to understand my concern of any negative effect on my PR application. She simply said to tick both the boxes in the PR application and submit. I can definitely tick the box "Have applied for permanent residency" on page 2 of medicare pdf form but not sure about ticking the box for "Visitor from a country that has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Australia". We are not on visitor visa or tourist visa but on TSS 482 visa. Thx for reading my post.
