HI ALL,

I would like to know about the conditions in visa 489.

I fully understand that ,this visa is for 4 years and one has to live in regional are for at least 2 years and 1 years of work experience.

what i really want to know is that can we live in non regional area FOR FEW MONTHS and later on move to regional area

OR

CAN WE MOVE OUT OF REGIONAL AREA AS SOON AS WE COMPLETE OUR 2 YEARS PERIOD IN REGIONAL AREA.

AND ONE MORE THING DO WE GET ANY TIME TO LIVE IN NON REGIONAL/METRO AREA AFTER WE LAND IN AUSTRALIA.IF YES, THEN FOR HOW LONG WE CAN STAY THERE.

AND DOES THE VISA PERIOD START IMMEDIATELT AFTER WE LAND IN AUSTRALIA (489 REGIONAL)

REGARDS.

Hi Anil,

Since you are already on the 489 visa I would like to ask you this : My relative staying in Australia told me that expats who comes on a provisional visa like 489 or others are entitled to pay higher taxes ( approx 47%) , get paid lesser compared to a person on a PR/citizen and also do not receive medical and other facilities from the government.

Do you have any idea about the rights of the expats going on provisional visas? Or some link/info you can help me with ?

Rubbish. There is no provision for 489 holders to pay higher taxes. You will pay the same as everyone else based on your income and deductions.
But no you will not be entitled to medicare.

As for income it is against the law to discriminate against someone and pay a lower wage. Their will still be odd employers that will do that but it is definitely not the norm.

489 is not a PR visa.. It's a provisional Visa..

Thank you for your reply..this clears many doubts.

Also..do you have any idea as to how much it takes once applied for the 887 visa after completing 2 years in Oz and going towards the path for PR. do you know anyone having faced any problems for the same?
