jt spark Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Just wondering what is involved in getting PR when on a 457 employer sponsored 4 year visa,do you have to wait 18 months etc & what are costs involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If you are eligible for PR you can do it when ever you want, but you would require a skills assessment if you havent been with the employer 2 years. After two years a skills assessment is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxlornaxx Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Depends what skills assesment you need..nursing is taking 16weeks for skills to be asessed at the moment..no idea about other professions..and pr visa times depend on which visa again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Depends what your occupation is as to whether you need a skills assessment under two years, there is a small exemption list which we qualified for... In terms of costs it's visa fee for yourself and a slightly smaller additional fee for those included on your application, the medicals, and police check. You can apply at anytime provided you and your employer meet all eligibility criteria, our process took three months from application to grant.

Rupert Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Just wondering what is involved in getting PR when on a 457 employer sponsored 4 year visa,do you have to wait 18 months etc & what are costs involved? To get PR you have to apply for one of the permanent visas, you don't apply for "permanent residency" as a status. If you qualify for one of the permanent visas you can apply for it any time you like, there is no requirement to spend time on a 457 visa beforehand. Two permanent visas you could consider are the 190 and 189, another is the 186 and your employer would need to sponsor you for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
