Kristo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi everyone, i have been granted a 190 visa for NSW. I have been living in Melbourne all this time. My question is, do i have to move to NSW or not. Also, if i have to move there, do i have any timeframe? My lawyer said i have 3 months to move to NSW. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 When you apply for the 190 visa, you make a promise to live and work in the nominating state for two years. If you stay in Melbourne, you are breaking that promise. In the past, the states have usually taken no action against people who break that promise, but that is changing. We've had reports of people having their 190 visa cancelled because they failed to live in their nominated state. It's up to you whether you're prepared to take the risk of losing your visa.

The state that did cancel the visas was NSW. This was reported by a registered migration agent so a good source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CivCdn Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Did you have an intention of moving to NSW at time of application, or did you plan to get PR from NSW but stay in VIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsan Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 You could live in Albury and continue to work in Melbourne! Someone i worked with did this - lives in a house share during the week and back to home thursday/friday for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
