strikker Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hello all. Im in a confusing situation. I received my 489 sp visa grant letter last week. My state state sponsor is SA. the grant letter has visa condition 8539 which explains "You must live in specified areas Your visa has been granted on the basis of a nomination by a State or Territory government. Visa condition 8539 requires that you must live, study and work in regional and/or low population-growth metropolitan area(s). These are: Regional and low population growth metropolitan areas Postcodes New South Wales (NSW) Anywhere except Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Wollongong 2311 to 2312, 2328 to 2411, 2420 to 2490, 2536 to 2551, 2575 to 2594, 2618 to 2739, 2787 to 2898 Northern Territory Entire territory Queensland Anywhere except the greater Brisbane area and the Gold Coast 4124 to 4125, 4133, 4211, 4270 to 4272, 4275, 4280, 4285, 4287, 4307 to 4499, 4515, 4517 to 4519, 4522 to 4899 South Australia Entire state Tasmania Entire state Victoria Anywhere except the Melbourne metropolitan area 3211 to 3334, 3340 to 3424, 3430 to 3649, 3658 to 3749, 3753, 3756, 3758, 3762, 3764, 3778 to 3781, 3783, 3797, 3799, 3810 to 3909, 3921 to 3925, 3945 to 3974, 3979, 3981 to 3996 Western Australia Anywhere except Perth and surrounding areas 6041 to 6044, 6083 to 6084, 6121 to 6126,6200 to 6799" now my concern is that. Do i live n work in any of the regional areas mentioned above or i must live n work in only SA.?? the statement is general that i can live in any of the mentioned regional areas. For example as my SA is my sponsored state of 489sp visa so can i live n work in regional area of victoria or NSW? what actual law is? How it effects my future in AUSTRALIA.

Isabelj28 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 No you can't. That's a cut & paste of all regional designated areas, so the case officer doesn't have to work out which state you are in and just applies the condition which covers off all states & territories.

rammygirl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It is t forever anyway. Once you have PR You can go anywhere to live and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 You have a moral obligation to live in SA as they are your sponsoring state. You have a legal obligation to live only in a regional area, which is one of the postcodes listed in your grant letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 You can live and work in any of the regional areas, just make sure to check the postcodes, to make sure you will be eligible 887 and not breach your visa conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
