acc0101 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi all~ My MA lodged my Nomination + 457 Visa application on-shore at the same time on 14 Fed, i am now under bridging visa. & MA also advise me they will tell me to buy the health insurance in the right timing. :rolleyes: But i found out that health insurance is one of a condition in 457 visa application. Is it sth wrong with my MA or is it really better to buy the insurance after nomination confirmed ? Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It will need to be in place when you lodge your part of the visa application, it is not required for the nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You are onshore now. Do you get reciprocal Medicare? That would satisfy the requirement anyway. Offshore applicants need insurance as they need to apply for Medicare so it covers the interim. Ask your agent for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have to keep the insurance all the time? How can they check if it got cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You will need to provide evidence of health cover before the subclass 457 can be finalised. You can lodge without it, however, it may slow down processing if you wait for the case officer to request it. Once the 457 is approved, it is a condition of the visa that you maintain health cover. If you do not, you would be breaching your visa conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubel797 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi there, My sponsorship and Nomination application has been lodged by my employer but yet to get any response. I am also planning to lodge my application. I was wondering do I have to purchase health insurance while I lodge my application. Or should I wait till the case officer asks for it? If I consider to purchase the insurance, will the cost start counting when I land Australia or will it start right from my payment? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksyou can wait to get the insurance until your case officer requests it however as said before it might slow things down. you'll be charged when the coverage starts (insurance company will ask when you would like to start with then).when i did mine i did after lodging my visa but before the c.o. asked for it (don't remember if i even had a c.o. allocated already or was still waiting for one). i did it in mid june and requested the coverage to start from july 1st.Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
