Sparks21 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hi, I have a question which I am getting mixed information about. I am currently residing in Perth on a 491 visa. I know we are eligible to apply for the 191 PR after 3 years. But as I am currently eligible for the 190 can I pay the fee and apply for this visa if I wanted to or must I remain on the 491? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 You can apply for a PR visa without having to wait. Once granted it will replace your existing visa. May well be worth it as you will be eligible for citizenship sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not true for the 491 and the OP will need to wait for three years before they can apply for a 190. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thanks for the clarification. And that’s why you need a registered agent not an amateur for advice! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
