Medicus Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi guys, I got a position as a medical practitioner in Sydney and shall come to Australia with a 457 visa. We planned to be in Australia about 6 weeks before I commence work. According to a friend who migrated to Australia 5 weeks ago with a pending 457 visa, it should not be a problem to enter with a tourist visa, work contract and transaction reference number and any proof that you have enough money to be able to fly back in case the visa is not issued. She did it that way and had no problems. Today I called the Australian embassy in Germany, they told me that I have to wait until the 457 visa is finally issued... So I really don't know what to do, because I absolutely don't want to arrive in Australia and start working at once... Is there someone out there who has been in a similar situation? Thanks for your help! medicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
