Richard01 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have a 489 and job offer, but now the Mrs is getting nervous because its limits us to NT and a Regional area My wife is concerned what happens if things dont work out in NT because she wants some security We've signed a doc to say we are committed to NT, but whats the process if that all falls down, for example, the Mrs turns around after a few/weeks months and says she hates it there? Could we try somewhere else regionally or is the process WAY too slow? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have no idea if you are able to move (someone else will though) however, remote/rural NT is not for everyone. What area are you thinking of? I lived in the NT for a number of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes there are certainly some added challenges with NT. Your visa restricts you to living and working in the regional areas as specified on the immigration websites, it does not confine you to NT.

Richard01 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 We've just received the statement to commit to NT and it says the 489 is not transferable to any other state! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We've just received the statement to commit to NT and it says the 489 is not transferable to any other state! Read your visa grant letter and comply with the conditions imposed by the DIBP, not the NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
