mel73 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hi, moving to melbourne soon. Is this true that after 2 years you can start residency process? If so how long does this process take? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ozmaniac posted information about this earlier when you had a similar question: "You get residency when you've met the conditions for a permanent visa and from a 489, that means that you must have lived for at least two years and worked full time for 12 months in a specified regional area of Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/887.aspx" Processing times vary based on volume of applications, quotas, etc. so the time when your eligible may take longer/shorter than current visas are taking. I'm not sure what current processing times are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
