If you don't mind, What's your situation and your timeline? It is done from our end, now we have to wait for them to review documents and grant visa. Nothing much to do unless they ask for some more documents or clarifications. No worries, I received the nomination of 5th Feb, completed medical and submitted all docs by 5th March.

Hope you are moving to Queensland, do you have any clue about, Accommodation, Driving license, Medical insurances? Sure, I will. Yeah we are going to QLD too. I have a friend their, as per him we have to support ourselves for 3 4 months till we find a job. You can get a room from a shared house for around 1200 per month, this includes electricity and water. For food, it will be 300 per month for a couple, 100 for internet, 200 for fuel. Best way to travel is by car. You have to buy one asap, as it is required in some occupations also. A used car in good condition can be bought for around 5k to 7k, and there will be another 1k for registration and insurance. You can drive with you existing license. So overall 16k - 18k is sufficient to settle down. There will be other expenses as well which we might not foresee and all these depend on your life style too. By the way, are you applying from SL or abroad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing, my friend told not expect same lifestyle we experience in gulf. He was working in Dubai too. He said everything is different in Queensland, at least in outskirts. There is no happening nightlife (they have those only in big cities) in placed we have to stay, all shops will be closed by evening and roads will literally empty by 6 7 pm. More greenery and everyone is in a very laidback mood. No big shopping malls an so on. He said, there were some guys who had gone back to middle-east cause they found it difficult to adjust. Even jobs are not competitive as here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can we live in any regional area in QLD or government appointing us to live in a specific post code? 2. If government appointing a post code, do we need to work in same post code? 3. After they granted the visa, is there specific duration to move to Australia? 4. Do they calculating 4 years from the date visa granted or after me moved to Australia?

As far as I know you can stay in any region in QLD except for Brisbane, Gold Coast, and other region specifically mentioned in BSMQ. 2. If government appointing a post code, do we need to work in same post code? You have to work and live in a regions eligible for 489. 3. After they granted the visa, is there specific duration to move to Australia? You have to move with in 6 months. 4. Do they calculating 4 years from the date visa granted or after me moved to Australia? It should be from day you entered the country.

Any tips about accommodation in regional areas Hi, Try to do some research in internet. I think Sunshine Coast area is good. Accommodation will be harder to find as we would be freshers to the area. So shared accommodation will be the solution. There are plenty of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
