[@rasseljohnobaob7912]

Hi! Thanks for sharing your journey. Is it worth doing the 482 visa? Is the work-life balance better than in the Philippines?

[@jenicamendoza8135]

Hi Megan! Just want to commend how good you are in elaborating the details in a manner that the listeners can understand. 😊 thank you!

[@megannmonday]

Thank you. This means a lot! 🥹💕

[@BethTumbaga]

Learned alot 💖thank you so much , a Good Content Mam, im a 482 dependent .

[@aleehsavory]

Hi I really find your video helpful as I can very much relate since my partner and I are facing the same circumstance. I just have a question with your partner documents. Did you declare that you’re living in the same house or were the evidence of your packages dropping at his place enough? Thank you so so much! God bless.

[@megannmonday]

Hiii, so glad this was helpful! Yes, we had to declare that we were living in the same house. We did this by asking our landlord if we could add my name onto his lease. We both had our separate condos, but we were mainly living at his place. The owners knew I was living there na rin, so I think that's why it was easy for them to just add my name. :) If you can't get this, maybe you can ask the landlord/owner (if you're renting) for a statement just to confirm that yes, you and your partner both do live at that address. Or perhaps it can be mentioned in the witness statements. Good luck, I hope it works out!! :)

[@katrinaocampo-garcia9679]

Hi thanks for this! I got accepted from an interview by an Australian employer. They have an immigration agent to process the visa. I have done PTE and submitted all necessary documents to them. Currently is more like a waiting game for me na iapply yung visa (fingers crossed). Most probably it would be 482 visa (short term). Just one question, due to border restrictions, pano kayo nakapasok sa Australia when borders are closed? Did you get travel exemption? salamat!

[@fkiethland]

Hello po! I was about to travel sa Australia na today kaso nung nasa airport check in na po ako hinanapan ako ng Travel Exemption Restriction. Which is wala po ako nun. Ang advice po saakin is mag request po ng TER before mag book ng flight, kasi matagal daw po bago maka receive ng TER.

[@megannmonday]

Hi! So sorry for responding so late, I hope the other commenter was able to help you 😊 I didn't need travel exemption during the time I travelled here because it was pre-COVID lockdowns (January 2020 - just a few mos before it all happened! 😳). And I haven't been able to travel back to PH since. So I'm not sure what the requirements are now. I hope okay yung immigration agent niyo. Because ours was very helpful, marami rin kasi kaming questions when we were working on our application so sana yours will also be able to guide you through ☺️ Good luck!!

[@megannmonday]

@Kiethland Fernandez I hope you receive your TER para maka-travel ka na po 😊

[@megannmonday]

Hi! So sorry I only saw this now. They're called East Coast Immigration Consultants 😊

[@ChanusTV]

After medical ho ba.. ilang weeks or days bago kayo nakakuha ng visa?

[@megannmonday]

Yung medical namin, we did it after we lodged our visa application na. St Luke's sent the result to the embassy, parang alam na nila yung ganun 😊 So I don't know when they sent it. But yung processing time namin is approx 6.5 weeks. We lodged in late Nov 2019 and received our grant Jan 7 2020.

[@francisreya3633]

Hi! Congrats, and the whole length of the video was all worth it! I got the same visa as you through my partner, and my worry is that, at immigration, they might ask me if I have a job/contract, as it is considered as open work visa. Towards the end, you said there were no questions asked, but I am paranoid over this! Did you book one way ticket? Any other questions that immigration asked you? I will be flying apart from my partner as she will be coming from Singapore.

[@megannmonday]

Thank you! And yes, I can relate to that feeling. I was super paranoid that I really moved my life around so I could fly the same time as him. No info about this part kasi online! I had a one-way ticket. I had all my visa approval proof with me + the health insurance required before you can enter Australia on this visa. When we were at immigration, we were in different queues because he was an int’l passport holder so I didn’t even have him to back me up if ever. But when I went up na, I just showed my passport with the visa grant and it seems na it’s all in the system and they know what it is. I was just ready to answer na I will be looking for work when I get there, but no questions really. ☺️ I hope it’s as smooth for you! And congratulations too!

[@francisreya3633]

@@megannmonday super cool! I do hope mine goes as smooth as yours. I am inquiring sa immigration din dito satin, sa departure area and Di nila ako masagot, they are asking for oec, then ipinasa ako sa poea, then poea asked me to contact bureau of immigration. Pasa pasahan! True na walang information about sa part na ito, kaya once I pass this hurdle, update kita para may new content ka 😊. Maraming salamat!

[@megannmonday]

I think you will be okay! It’s clear on the visa approval naman that you are secondary visa holder and not primary. So si partner talaga ang may work dito upon landing. And the visa gives rights to live and work eh. If it helps, we asked our immigration agent about this and she said the same thing - the visa grant & insurance was all I needed. But sana talaga smooth lang. Good luck! 😊

[@francisreya3633]

@@megannmonday same thing was said by our contact, that the visa itself will be enough. I think authorities here are just giving us a hard time.

Hi Megan! It's 1:17am here in Ph and thank God my worries are now solved by your vlog. I am so stressed abt these immigration interview thingy that they might look for a PDOS or anything because visa 482 is a working visa, but we (me and my kids) are also secondary holders of TSS visa. Now my head is clear. Thank you. We're flying on Dec 25. ☺️

[@megannmonday]

Glad I could help po 😊 I recently visited the Philippines and on my way out to go back to Australia, they asked me what visa I am on and I said “482 pero dependent/secondary holder ako” + showed my visa grant and they didn’t ask me anything na after that 😊 Hope it will be a smooth experience for your family!

I got my 482 visa approved this mid-Feb and I’m fortunate that the employer helped w/ reloc to Richlands, QLD. So I need to settle the insurance. Also I think getting a new OEC also requires insurance coverage w/ repatriation. Appreciate your content. Thanks.🎉

Hello just incase I have my partner as my dependent of 482 visa, what is the circumference of location kung san lang sya pwede mKapag work?

[@megannmonday]

Hi! For me, walang restrictions for location. I can also work part time or full time. I also even started as freelancer - I just registered for an ABN which is like tax number but for a business/sole trader. My partner - the primary visa holder - is the one with more restrictions on the work since he is sponsored by the company so parang dapat he stays with them. Of course, ako as secondary holder, my visa ends when his ends 😊 When you get the visa grant, all the restrictions & details of what you can do with the visa will be listed there.

[@OreoSpears]

Hi there, my employer is applying me for a a 482 visa, they told me that It’s valid for 2 years and can be renewed for 2 more years, so that means, this is medium stream? And how many months did you wait for the visa approval considering there’s Covid pandemic? Thanks in advance Megann

[@megannmonday]

Hello! First off, congratulations 🎉 Glad your employer is sponsoring you cos that’s the hard part eh - finding a company to sponsor. As for processing, we applied in late 2019 and mabilis lang for us bumalik yung result, parang a month and a half after we lodged the application. Ngayon daw po it’s slower and could take up to 9 months - but I guess it varies pa rin 🙂

Did you need health insurance and medical examination? Where you also exempt from Skills assessment?

[@megannmonday]

Medical exam was required as part of the visa application. Then, the private health insurance is also required when you are here. Stated as a condition in the visa grant that you should have adequate health insurance during your stay. No skills assessment for me as a secondary visa holder. Primary had to do it.

Hi there, I think it’s possible naman! Because aside from the evidence of the last 5 years (pics, travel bookings, joint bank accts, etc), you can also mention these events and address why you aren’t living together in the Relationship Statement (esp in PH, it’s not super common to move in together). There is also a Witness Statement that should come from someone who knows your relationship, so I think these things help prove the relationship 😊

Hi po, from what I researched the short-stream isn't but the medium-stream can be, "if eligible". They have info on their gov site: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au 🙂

Hi same here I’m a secondary visa which is tss subclass 482. Yung company ng father ko ung nag sponsor. Kailangan pa ba ng OEC for the immig. requirements? what can I possibly find in my requirements in immig ph.

Sana mabasa nyo po Ito

[@megannmonday]

Hello, this is not required daw po kapag secondary visa holder ka. They require this for the primary visa holder. And in my experience, wala rin hinanap sa akin na ganito sa PH immigration and even here in AU 😊

Hello may i know How long is the processing of your 482 visa since you apply for it

[@megannmonday]

Hello! It wasn’t too long for us, I think we got our results around 6-8 weeks after we lodged it. But this was before covid. I heard processing time is longer now.

My skill assessment din po ba kau or vetassess

[@megannmonday]

Hello! Dun po sa nabasa ko on their immigration website, certain primary TSS visa applicants require skills assessment daw po. For us, yung partner ko did not need. Siguro it depends on the occupation po 😊

[@petlover2136]

Hello pwde ba ako ang mag ayos ng mga ibang document Dito sa pinas embassy as a independent para mas maka mura

[@megannmonday]

Hi! Siguro po - but I am not sure. I have only experienced working with someone para sure kami na we have everything we need. The 482 visa can be quite complicated and I would recommend talaga working with someone. And also remember that with the 482 visa, you should first have a company who will nominate you 😊 If you have a company who is already interested, best to ask them for their recommendations or what they have done previously.

@@megannmonday thank you

[@emmariecabarles3609]

Is this also applicable for single? Sana all po may partner 😊 💜

[@megannmonday]

Hello!! Yes, of course! The 482 Temporary Skill Shortage Visa is an employer-nominated WORK visa, not a partner visa 😊 So ang kailangan is an employer who will nominate to sponsor you for that visa. You can have a look at the AU immigration website for more info, they really provide all the info needed there: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-skill-shortage-482 👍

How much is the cost of living in AU? :)

[@megannmonday]

Hi Mariel, it will depend on where you live 😊 Generally, my friends say it's really expensive in Sydney as it's a big city. It will definitely vary per state. You can browse through realestate.com.au to get a rough idea on renting at least. I think that might be helpful 😃
