Hi Jus,

It may depend on the visa type but when we validated our skilled independent visas all they did was look in the passport and stamp it as usual. I was disappointed since I thought there would be more to it than that.

I'm not an accountant but I think that you pay tax in the country where you are resident. So you only start paying tax in Australia if you are resident here and you will pay taxes on your worldwide income (so it doesn't matter where you are earning your money you will pay the tax in Oz).

Regards,
Karen
