What about medical insurance Medicare for 494? Is it supported?

[@AzirenJGav]

Hello Sir Chris and good day! I am an Accountant from the Philippines. I've been working in Singapore for about 5 yrs with the last position as Finance Manager. I went back in the Philippines last 2015 and right now in Perth Australia in a tourist visa. Please advise what possible visa stream shall I apply to become a PR in Australia when my age is already going to 64 this 28June. THANK YOU.

[@fredtorres743]

Great video, thanks Chris! Quick question: I just received a negative outcome in my skills assessment application and Vetassess informed that my occupation is one not listed on any of the 482 current lists, but I have plenty of experience in my current job and my salary is above the future TISMIT. Do you think the lists will be abolished in 482 visa? Thanks

[@wilverreyes6087]

Hi Mr. Chris, Good day, can I asking something about 494 visa, how many months process the 494 visa? Thanks

[@Mohammed.Kumar83]

The dept. of home affairs website says the "STSOL 482 to PR (186)" pathway is only available for 2 years, but the actual legislative instrument has no mention of this whatsoever - it actually says it'll be valid until 2032. I see literally every migration agency saying "this pathway will only be available until July 2024". Some actual definitive clarity here would be absolutely fantastic!! Thanks

Hi is it possible to retake IELTS one component for 494 visa? the requirement is 6 in all bands. However i went down in Reading as I got 5.5. so can I only retake this component? will IELTS retake be an disadvantage on my application?

[@WorkVisaLawyers]

Hi, Yes, it is possible. For Australian visa purposes, the Department will accept IELTS test results that include OSR, with the exception of applications for subclasses 476, 482, and 485​, which need scores from a single sitting/attempt. You can check more information at: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/english-language Thanks for watching our videos.

Hi Chris, We have been invited for 491 visa and we applied on 16th October 2022 by paying visa application charges. Today we received pre invite for 190 visa. Shall we withdraw 491 and apply for 190? Will we loose visa application fees paid for 491? What would you advice 491(South australia) or 190( Victoria). Please help as we are confused.

[@ayomusa9142]

Get the 190 nomination first from Victoria before withdrawing your 491. As soon as you receive the nomination, withdraw your 491 visa. Yes, you will lose the fee and have to pay another visa fee. 190 visa irrespective of the state that issues it is better than 491 cos while the former is permanent residence, the latter is a temporary work visa. So 190 trumps 491
