When does the three year prescriptions for 475 visa starts?

[3jps]

dear all,

 

greetings!

 

i'm a 475 or temporary visa applicant and i want to seek advice from every one. my query concerns the three year prescription period being given to a 475 visa holder to secure permanent visa. my question is when will the clock start ticking is it from the time the visa was approved or it is the time of your actual first entry to OZ? I asked this because an applicant is given a year to enter oz following the visa grant.

 

thank you and God Bless Us All.
