Thanks po for your time to respond. Though i’m still on the process of applying and recruitment process in ongoing, hoping na sana magtuloy tuloy, andito pa rin po ako sa Pilipinas, if ever lang po if i will be selected, how complex and gaano po ka possible na I will be granted ng work visa? And possible po if can advice important na need gawin or to note to get high chance na ma grant if ever.
Three important things at this stage:
- Did you notify your prospective employer of your health status? You are not required to so don't disclose it.
If the employer will employ an agent, the agent will likely find out once you fill out a health declaration form as part of the visa process. When you get to that point, you may have to disclose your status to the agent but inform them that you do not wish for your status to be disclosed to your prospective employer.
What's you occupation? If you're a healthcare professional who'll be working here is AU in a setting where you will be dealing with open wounds (e.g., surgery, i think even administering vaccines), a work visa will not be granted even if you're undetectable.
Will they be sponsoring you under visa 482 medium-stream? This will become very important later on when you apply for permanent residency so better clarify this with your prospective employer.
Visa 482 also has short-term and labour agreement streams. Under current regulations, it will be very difficult to secure permanent residency under these streams.
Besides these, you only have to worry about making sure you get the job so do well! :smiley:
Another factor to consider but I'm not sure if actually relevant - are you undetectable? I've been undetectable since my first work visa so I'm not sure if having a detectable viral load has an impact on the visa application process.
