Just got my SA Nomination through a couple of days ago, starting to pull together all the documentation. I want to have everything submitted up front as much as possible (Health Check and PCC included). I have tried to create the health declaration on the Immi website, but no option exists for the 489 visa - did anyone else do it beforehand or wait till requested? How else can I generate the HAP ID without going through this? Last question, for the visa application, did you declare all identitiy documents (birth certs, driving license etc), I have driving license but waiting on renewal to change over to new address but if its not needed to submit I wont wait on it. Cant help with your first question but with your driving license I just wouldn't use it as ID, some people don't have one anyway so id have thought that your birth certificate and passport would be your main ones.

We are just a bunch of visa applicants only (and some of us rely on our MA for assistance). Yes...Joesline is right.. We( here) can only provide you with basic information . Driving licence is not mandatory. Birth certs. ,form 80, may be form 1221 are compulsory,and also in my information after payment of visa fees automatically hap id is generated for medicals which you have to do at the earlist possible date from recognised clinic..but you can always upload pcc at the time of fees payment...

So anything that is applying are still under the old path way. Isn't it? https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/regional-migration/news/new-regional-visas New Regional Visas The new skilled regional provisional visas will be for skilled migrants, and dependent family members, who want to live and work in Australia. There will be two new skilled regional provisional visas introduced in November 2019: Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa: for people sponsored by an employer in regional Australia. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa: for people who are nominated by a State or Territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member to live and work in regional Australia. Holders of the new skilled regional provisional visas will need to live and work in regional Australia. Visas will be granted with a validity period of up to five years. Holders of the new skilled regional provisional visas will be able to apply for a Permanent Residence visa. The Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa will commence in November 2022. Importantly, to be eligible for permanent residence, holders of the new skilled regional provisional visas will need to demonstrate they have lived and worked in regional Australia while holding one of the new Skilled Regional Provisional visa. Thanks for the link. Very useful. The key part of the particle for us is this: Changes to existing visas The introduction of the two new regional visas in November 2019 will not impact people who already hold existing visas. Applications lodged prior to November 2019 will continue to be processed as normal. There will be no impact on the permanent residence of current permanent visa holders. Check back regularly over the coming weeks for updates on this new initiative 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Congratulations on your SA nomination. You can generate HAP ID only after you lodge for visa. Once you lodge a visa you will see an action required flag just besides your application home. From there it will written Arrange Health Examinations. From there only you can create your HAP ID so that it fetch your complete details. Once you are done with the medical, the clinic itself sends your report to the concerned department of immigration. You can upload PCC upfront at the time of visa application. Driving license is not mandatory as a ID proof. You just need to upload your passport copy and birth certificate for you ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi guys, I have a bit of advice for those that are heading out to Adelaide soon. Not long after you arrive you will no doubt be wanting to enrol onto the Medicare system. The building we used to enrol is right next to the department of transport so you can do this at the same time as getting your driving license sorted out. Also, if you are traveling with a partner or with kids, I would advise that only one of you take the passports and visabdetails to the Medicare building as we all went at 0930 and the wait was 1 hour. My kids were climbing the walls as there was nothing for them to do and there was actually no reason for them to be there, one person can do it all. There is a large shopping mall called the Marion centre directly across the road so I would suggest that one person sorts out the Medicare whilst the others either sorts out the driving license or chills out in the Marion centre. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
