Image123: @bellong and co. Informative thread you've put up here. [b]However i somehow missed the cost implications in all these? [/b]Is there no requirement of bank statement, proof of funds kind of? It will be good to have such idea from the first page. The cost implications are outlined in all the links I added. If you read through, you will find it there. Meanwhile, there is no POF required for subclass 189. However, for 190 some states require POF like Northern Territory and Queensland, others do not but will want you to declare what you have to support yourself. |

Alex1975: It appears visa class 489 is a slavery visa.The thing is that you are invited to a party , but you must come with your own food and drinks.The moment your food and drink finish you are told to go back home! You are not really needed. This is not true. It is a pathway to permanent resident visa. It was initially designed for people who cannot meet up with the 60 points minimum but have considerable experience that can help develop regional areas. You get to apply for PR after two years on the visa if you have been employed for at least 12 months on the visa. No visa 489 holder will be sent home except the person decides to return home himself/herself. |

@chytai,
It means the licence given by the body in charge of your occupation. I am not sure we have such for tradies in Nigeria.
Explain the process of practising your occupation to them. Attach your membership certificate and whatever you can get to show you are actively practising your occupation. |
Travel › Re: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by bellong(op): 8:36am On May 04, 2018 |
chytai: Please who knows which organization issues business license or permit, it's required by TRA for self employed assessment. What exactly did they ask for? Your business licence? That should be certificate of business registration with CAC. I don't think trade occupations are regularised like that in Nigeria. Once you are done with apprenticeship, you do freedom, the remaining is to be collecting jobs.. |

@Aussy4life,
Don't bring in beans. Quarantine are usually skeptical because of the weevil. You could be lucky to scale through but it is better not to bring all the way from Nigeria and lose it at the port of entry.
Don't bring liquid drugs except it is extremely needed for the journey. You can get those stuff here. You can bring paracetamol and the rest, they are all over the counter drugs.
Don't bring anything that contains the bark of a tree like herbs, quarantine will seize it. Aside from the above, you can bring anything.
I am not sure you will be allowed to bring palm oil, the guys at MMIA will collect it except you water ground. |

@Cuteyem
1. VETASSES will not take secondary school teaching as a consultancy experience. She should get at least one year claimable consultancy experience to have a very high chance for a positive assessment.
2. She should get the paper documents from the school such as offer letter, payslip, superannuation. You need at least one third party evidence.
3. Go to the exams and records department or the section responsible for transcript in your school. Go with your original copy and photocopy. The school will stamp the photocopy as a copy of the original, put in envelope and also stamp the envelope before sending to vetasses.
I am not sure of your permutation to use teaching as a consultancy service. If she gets a positive assessment, you can check the accounting bodies to see if you did the required courses in your program. If you did them, you can get positive assessment, this will add 5marks to your spouse's 65 making 70. You have high chance of being invited. |

Alex1975: Why are we not exploring visa class 489F? Family members older than 18 that have lived in the regions can nominate a lot of jobs.Bellong can you please comment on this. If you click the subclass 489 link in the opening post, you will be able to read about it. The process is still the same for 489 family stream except that it is a family member that is sponsoring you in this case. The occupation list is the same for regional sponsor stream. @Obongkaks, You probably should shoot ACWA an email if 5yrs experience can substitute qualification in your case. |

meelife: OK,I get you.As it's available for visa subclass 186 which is Employer nomination,should one complete studies and starts work in Australia can the person now apply for PR under the 186 stream for Pr?or PR is just available through 189,190 & 489 only? An employer must be willing to sponsor you under the scheme before you can apply. No PR is also available through employer nomination scheme and business stream. Nominating a closely related occupation means another occupation that is on 189 list but has similar job functions as per Anzco job code right? Yes. |

PLS I DONT KNOW ANYTHNG ABOUT HOW TO GET THE TAX RETURNS. IF ANYONE HAS SCALE THROUGH THIS HURDLE PLS COME TO MY AID. Could you please stop writing in Caps? It means you are angry with us all, it is a rude gesture when writing on the internet in full caps all through. To your question, your employer must be remitting your tax to inland revenue. Go to inland revenue Office nearest to you to request for your tax statement. It is what you need. @Buzu84, What kind of suggestion do you want? I guess you should contact Alphadoor and Azy123, they are the Prof of ACS. |

meelife: Thanks for the clarification. So it means such job code can't apply for PR under the 189,190 and 489 subclass. Should someone complete a Masters programme in Australia for this job code can the person apply for PR or same conditions apply? Even if you complete PhD and it is not available for any of the three subclass, you cannot apply for PR. However, immigration policies keep changing, the occupation maybe restored on the list later. You can nominate a closely related occupation that is on the list. |

meelife: Hi All, I have work experience in the same job code which is on the CSOL list but for 2 companies Company A from 2013-2016 Compnay B from 2016--Present, In calculating my skilled employment points , how many years can I claim for (in the past 10 years)? Is it 5 years or 3 years? You will claim 5 years since it is the same occupation but different companies. The company you work doesn't matter as long as you are performing same job functions. In the DHA website I read for the code 234211 -Chemist ,the Visa subclasses (streams or type) are 86, 407, TSS (M),Does it mean a person with this job code can't apply for visa class 189? Thank you. It means exactly that. 2. Some occupations have too many applicants in the pool. The department decided to push up the invitation points for those occupations to make things easier for themselves. All pro-rata occupations need at least 75points to have hope of invitation as it is the case currently. Things may change later because immigration policies get reviewed periodically. |

The skilled occupation list can be found here.
Note that the visa subclass you can apply for is written in front of each occupation. If your occupation does not have 189 listed in front, you will seek nomination from State and territory governments. Ignore the other subclass and be concerned with 189, 190 and 489. The others are employer's sponsored visa.
The link to all assessing authorities can be found here. |

Welcome to the Part 2 of the do it yourself Australian Permanent Resident Visa thread. Please note that Visa 489 was stopped last year and replaced with Visa 491 with additional conditions and increased points. Follow the link provided below for detailed information about Visa 491.
Subclass 491
Please check this link for the previous thread. It contains detailed information about the process and experiences of other successful applicants.
CAVEAT: It is important that prospective applicants read through all the links provided as private discussion would not be entertained. Every information needed is provided on the thread. I will also encourage you to ask all your questions on the thread to be assured of not being misled
Australia has a number of visa options for people who want to live, work or invest in the country. This thread will focus only on the skilled migration visas. As explained in the previous thread, there are three classes of visa under the skilled migration program namely Subclass 189, 190 and 491. Please find below the links to information about each of the subclass on Department of Home Affairs website
Subclass 189
Subclass 190
Subclass 491
As depicted in the attached pictures, the process is simple and straightforward. How long it takes is dependent on an individual's circumstances. Below are the steps involved.
1. Check if your occupation is on the occupation list
2. Go to the website of the assessing body for your occupation for information about the assessment process
3. Write English test. This step can come before skills assessment, it depends on the requirements of the assessing body for your occupation. Some do not require English test for assessment while others do.
4. Once you get positive skills assessment, submit an expression of interest (EOI) here if you have minimum of 65 points for 189, 60 for 190 and 50 for 491.
5. If applying for 190 or 491, ensure a state is sponsoring your occupation before going ahead with the process.
6. After submitting EOI, wait for invitation to apply for the visa
7. Invitation received, apply for the visa and sit back till DHA finalises your application.
8. Grant received, pack your belongings and move. An information I did not update in the previous thread. YOU MUST BE UNDER 45 YEARS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SKILLED MIGRATION PROGRAM.
