cyberslam Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 hey again! We (me and wife) moved to Australia on 489 provisional visa. I am the primary applicant and she was the subsequent entrant. We both got the same visa and same conditions and will be applying for 887 in mid-April. Before we moved to Australia we were told that only i (being primary applicant) have to meet the live and work visa conditions but i called the immi last week and i was told that both of us have to comply with this condition which has kind of jolted us as she hasn't even worked for 1 year during the last 2 years. Has anyone else been in a similar boat ? Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Perhaps Immi misunderstood the question or you misunderstood the answer. It's a requirement of the 489 visa that you are only able to live/work in a regional area (e.g. you can't live/work in Sydney) and this applies to all visa holders. However when applying for the 887 visa, the only the primary applicant needs to have worked full time for at least 1 year. So your wife doesn't need to have worked at all while holding the 489.
