Are there any tradies on here or anyone in similar situation thanks Hi, Extremely new to this forum, and just signed up. I'm also a british citizen with plumber occupation. I'm applying for other visas and EOIs for them but curious about 186 Visa. Did you get a sponsor while offshore or are you based onshore? I'm offshore and desperate for any permanent visa. At present I have just received state nomination for 491 from SA which is obviously temporary. I haven't lodged application as yet and praying for 190 at least. Would love guidance how 186 visa works and how to get sponsor, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love guidance how 186 visa works and how to get sponsor, thanks States are not issunig 190's very often these days. The whole point of the 491 is that they're fed up of people getting a 190 and then going off to live in another state. The 491 is a way of putting you on probation, so you have to stay in the state or lose your visa. If they've offered you a 491 then they're not going to offer you a 190. It's true the 491 is only temporary, however unlike any other temporary visa, it has a clear pathway to a permanent visa. Look at it this way. For the other temporary visas (student and 482), they're letting someone come to Australia to fulfil a temporary role. The government wants those people to go home at the end, so they make it difficult to transition to PR. For the 491, it's the opposite. The government really, really wants you to stay at the end of the 491, so provided you can meet the criteria, you're in. Yes, you're temporary for 4 years but you've got that carrot at the end. It's so very difficult to get a visa for Australia right now, I would not be turning my nose up at the offer you've got.

Rarely any dev is getting granted as per this forum. Have you tried to check with Immigration? you can ask your MA to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely not going to turn the ITA for the 491S. My preference would be a permanent visa as would so many others, but at least there is a pathway to PR. The reason I posted was the earlier poster was also a plumber and keen to understand his/her background and circumstances as I know not many tradies are getting a look-in at all on any vissa type. Thanks once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
