Eaglesfashion: I was a fully funded PhD candidate at the time I invited my family a few years ago. From memory, the primary proof of funds she has to show from Australia is her PhD scholarship. |

Favouredamazon: I am currently in Australia as a Citizen through study pathway. Getting admission into Nursing in Australia may be challenging as they prefer onshore candidates. What I have seen people do is to get to Australia through the easiest possible admission and then switch. However, you may lose some of the tuition paid especially if you are switching to another school. It's recommended that you apply for a course on the occupation list in case you find it impossible to switch, say the Agriculture. 2 Likes |

Saynoomore: The payslip is to confirm you are working and earning money in your nominated field. The said amount is in $AUD and includes all payments (including bonuses and tax). I wasn't earning that much when I was nominated...and I am still not earning it now but the curve is going up (which is what they are interested in). Therefore, you can't be denied because your employment letter is not showing the approximately #75 million naira pay per annum. Well, we all know that Professors and several professionals are poorly paid in Nigeria, courtesy of per month payment instead of per hour! |

Saynoomore: You are not expected to be receiving this amount per annum at the time of your nomination/application - you will be assessed for future potential to earn this much. So, your current job and position, qualifications (especially MSc and PhD), innovative talents, international recognition/awards in your field, publications etc can be evaluated to meet the threshold. 1 Like |

Has anyone heard about the Global Talent Visa Program in Australia? This pathway allowed me to obtain my PR within a week with no skill assessment, no English test and no regional localizing! You can read about it: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/visas-for-innovation/global-talent-independent-program If you consider yourself competitive enough, I am happy to answer a few questions. Timelines: Student Visa (Research) in 2015, PhD (2019), Post-Study Visa (2019), PR (2020), Citizenship (2022), Passport (2022). 1 Like 1 Share |

rolaesh: Do you mean for my family dependent visa? If yes, then #88,000 paid for wife, 6,400 for her Telep office charges, 5,400 for each child...No visa fees for children as it is 574 as earlier explained. Then, Medical charges. Also the OSHC must have been paid. For OSHC, it was AUD 8,900 as it was a family cover with MediBank. Hope this helps. 1 Like |

My family dependent 574 Visa has just been granted after 10 days of submission. Now they can join me in Oz. Thanks everyone. NOTE: The Lagos Telep office collected visa application fees for my kids and Pretoria office is now refunding same with explanation that kids of 574 Postgraduates are not expected to pay for visa. Funny enough, Lagos office refused to collect the form without the payment. So, take note if you are in same shoe as some staff members in Lagos office really do not know all that is involved unfortunately. 4 Likes |

olahim: Normally you are expected to finish within three years as your scholarships wont go beyond this but the normal max period for full time is 4 years and this should be stated in your offer letter. Visa will be granted few more months beyond this in case you need little more time . So, here is the break down; 4 years from school+ few months from embassy (say 8 months) = 4.8 yrs. Normally, your OSHC must cover this entire period, no negotiation! 1 Like |

lighternote: Is this quoted amount for a year or two? My quoted medibank amount will cover the entire period of PhD program which is usually 4yrs plus. $13000 will normally cover 4.8 yrs. You may want to recalculate now and lets see if BUPA is cheaper! It will be awesome if it is cheaper. |

olahim: Graduate research scholarships are of many types and sources but most do NOT include OSHC! The amount to pay depends on whether it is a single or couple or family (husband+wife+1 baby or more) applicant. Amount to pay also depends on the school and the insurance company involved. For family as example, 2015 cost is abt $13,000 while single is around $3000 and couple $7000 for Medibank. Well, 60% increment occurred in 2015; hence, the high cost! |

masperano: I was in your shoe sometimes ago having gotten fully funded PhD program..Here is my take: 1) Do medicals first and wait for like 2 days then submit application. 2) Address? It depends on where u want..Abuja or Lagos? check web for address. 3) You do NOT need to provide bank statement..it doesnt affect the outcome. You have been front paid if you are on scholarships! 4) Medical fee? depends on location! Visa fee? Check web..but make sure your denominations are of at least 2006. 5) Research can start anytime like 6 months before your confirmation, so go ahead and lodge! No worries. |

ome240: The area is close to the central...abit expensive but can choose to stay away abit ...dont worry, Hobart is not a big city, you will be fine staying in most areas. For shared apartment ( btw $120-180/pw), whole flat (between 350-500/pw) depending. You may get something cheaper. You may want to contact agents as well. |

bossladyMo: @bosslady. I have a friend here doing PhD with me in Tas and she wants to apply for her PR. She doesnt have work experience related to her degrees and her field is on CSOL. In Tas, it is said your profession doesnt have to be on the list to be nominated as long as you have a Tas degree. Then, we were abit confused there! How will she do assessment with a body, say..Vetassess..., when she doesnt have prior work experience? Please clarify. |

missakomaye: Who is scaring you that you need a help to get your footing here? Forget it. You can survive on your own although it may look hard especially if you are not coming with enough money to last you for a month...but many have survived it! DO NOT WITHDRAW YOUR APPLICATION! Nobody can influence a bad application for oz! If your application is good, your grant is sure..so forget intimidation! I dont think any of the guys already in Oz employed any influence to be granted. Avoid complications. Avoid more money to spend! Avoid more documentation! Avoid higher possibility of visa rejection! 1 Like |
