    @esmejeff

    Hi,

    Can I get your email ad? I would like to ask you some questions.

    I hope you find time to reply.

    This is about a Dubai Agent offering a guaranteed 457 visa sponsor for a pay of AED 15k.

    I would like to know what documents or evidence should I asked from him in order to validate the company and if he is applying for my 457 visa? I mean like in lodging your application, what documents will be asked. Is it the employment contract signed by both parties (employer and employee), certificates, etc.

    Pls. I need your reply asap.

    Appreciate your assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Theresa

    as far as I know, kung 457 visa yung iooffer sayo kelangan sagot siya ng company at wala kang babayaran...

    for proof kung nag eexist sila or siya, try to check yung Australian Business Number nila.

    Hi All, newbie here. My current employer (in Manila) will relocate me in QLD and they will sponsor my 457 visa. Although they told me that their agent will contact me for the requirements, I just want to know in advance if I need to take the IELTS test? Thank you in advance!

    @lonjet do you have dependents (kids)? sang area kayo if ever and anong budget nyo for rent weekly? Take into consideration din yung grocery/food, internet, water, electricity and/or gas, mobile phone, petrol kung magkotse going to work or transpo expense kung train/bus or tram pati na yung private health insurance per month. Kaya naman yung 1700/fortnight pero baka a bit tight. Siyempre mas okay kung pareho kayo work. Pero again depende pa rin if you have kids and kailangan ilagay sa childcare or OSHC

    @epiboy99 pasali po ako, gaano ka expensive ang childcare? Advisable ba para sa 1.5 y/o na baby? Or sacrifice muna at isa lang muna ang magwork sa men? Btw - sa Brisbane kami.

    @Jhing yung mga centre based childcare fee is around 80 - 120 AUD/day. Medyo mabigat. Kung kaya naman na isa muna magwork hanggang mag kindy si baby, baka mas okay. I am just basing this sa experience ko. Though nung under working visa ako, nasa Reception na yung anak ko so nakapagtrabaho si mrs and sa after school care na lang yung anak ko pagkatapos ng class nya which is around 15 - 20 AUD .

    @epiboy99 thank you. Ilang taon usually nagstart mag school ang mga bata sa AU? I understand na sobrang mahal ng school jan, so sana mahabol namin maka PR bago siya mag school.

    @Jhing 4 yata pag start ng kindy. Kung papasok sa state/public school yung anak mo, check mo if you have to pay. May mag state kasi na kahit 457 ka, your kid will be treated as domestic student sa primary school, so minimal ang bayad (sa case ko dati nung 457 vis pa ako, around 500 AUD a year - Sa SA pala ako). Kung may malaki ang bayed, check mo mag catholic schools. usually has affordable sila.

    for budget tips. para samen ng partner ko (NSW) mas mura sa ibang state sa alam ko..

    Insurance - required siya sa 457 visa, principal and dependents, so dalawa kami $210pm
    Electricity - $200 for 3months, since lagi kaming wala sa bahay kasi nasa work
    Water - some apartments free na yung water shouldered na nung may ari, some are not.. (i have no idea on this one as mine is free)
    Internet - $60pm unlimited data na, but depende sa area mo kung anong provider yung makukuha mo.
    Rent - $500pw i guess. but I have my one bedroom for $360pw.. again depende sa area mo yung prices.. kung mas malayo sa city mas malaki yung $500pw mo
    Transpo - +/-$2.50 ata yung minimum sa bus and train esp pag off peak
    Groceries - $100pw siguro is enough for 2-3persons.

    medyo mahal kasi dito sa Sydney.. sa ibang lugar/state, mas makakatipid/mura kayo :)

    @lonjet eto yung nabasa ko sa website nila

    "The Government of Queensland from the 4th of December 2012 introduced a fee waiver for student dependents of temporary work visa holders." This means that children of 457 visa holders are treated as domestic student sa primary and secondary level.

    Baka meron sa forum na taga Qld who can verify this info.
