wokeuplikediss Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Long story short, I’m on 489 which requires 1 year of regional working and 2 years of regional living before applying for 887. I have completed one year of working in regional. The place that I work decided to shut down last two month and now I’m jobless. Now I temporarily stay with my cousin in the city. But I’m going back to regional soon. Will the time I spend in the city affect when I apply for 887? I’m still paying rent there. I’m concerned that it has now been 6 weeks. One thing I concern is my everyday spending would show that I am in the city. I planning to go back as soo as I can and finding a new job. Will plan to go back next week though. thank you for all inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 You are allowed to go on holiday. If you still have your home in the regional area, then your stay with your cousin is just you taking the opportunity for a holiday while you are out of work. So it should not matter at all.

Ausvisitor Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 So long as you aren't working and your actual base is still in the regional area then you are travelling - the idea of the restrictions is to stop people migrating into the cities when their place was to populate the regions and not to stop people travelling and visiting friends/relatives etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
