ClaireyD Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm on a 457 and work as a registered nurse. Hubby and I have recently started talking of staying permanently. Thing is I'm 51. Am I too old to apply for PR. I think I am but just wanted someone to confirm so I can rule it out. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hi Clairey, Yes you're too old to apply for General Skilled Migration, and most likely not going to be paid enough to qualify for PR using employer sponsorship. There are some other options which people use, such as a 457 visa followed by a retirement visa but that kind of pathway needs professional advice.

Cheers, George Lombard Hi George, When you say retirement visa? Do you mean one of those temporary investor visas? Or is there really a pathway to permanent migration?
