kala1178 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I am currently in Australia on a tourist visa and plan to be here for near future. I have had eoi for 189 since oct with no luck. I have applied for job sponsorship and I have been lucky enough to get one (not yet applied for the visa yet) however, I have just been invited to apply for 190 for Queensland. The problem here is to meet the criteria I can not work. My question is, can I apply for tss sponsorship visa and 190 at the same time and also, can I then work in Queensland once my 190 visa is submitted? Its all very confusing and don’t want to risk the 190 but could really do with working and getting an income. Thank you for any feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yes, it's not an issue. The 190 will just replace the TSS once granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kala1178 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thank you for you reply. My concern is working. The criteria for state sponsorship is being off shore (which technically I am as I am only a tourist) or working in Queensland for 6 months. Does the working part not count once I’ve submitted my 190 application or would I then have to work 6 months to proceed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are physically in Australia, even on a tourist visa, you're "onshore". Edited August 9, 2018 by Marisawright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kala1178 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Even if I’m only here on holiday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
