(1) Ang status po ng EOI ko ay like below. Kailangan ko po ba na i click na ang "Apply Visa" button o kailangan muna may Employer job offer/nomination invite?
(2) Kung kailangan po ng employer job offer/nomination invite, saan po pwede mas madali makakuha?
Thanks

for 457 visa transition to 186 visa requirements, my employer sent me a list of all the requirements needed and a bit confused here "Police clearance certificate for any country lived for 12 months or more since the age of 16 (including Australia) (for each applicant)."
are they referring to Police clearance? or NBI clearance?
thank you

Newbie here.
Hindi lang po ako familiar about visa in Aus.
Basically Im base in SG right now and company will be relocating me in Sydney.
Hindi pa namin na didiscuss about type of visa ang dapat iapply sakin. Since aware naman sila na gusto ko isama ang wife and mga anak ko.
Question is, ano visa dapat ibigay nila sakin And do I need to take IELTS?
Thank you!

Question lang po, ano po ba difference ng 186 direct stream vs. 186 trt (temporary residence transition)
Kapag po ba may 482 ka na, pede ka sa either path ng direct stream or trt?
Thanks in advancw

May employer ako who is willing to nominate me via DE. Pero may valid tourist visa po kame ng family ko kase we usually visit for business or tour. 1year multiple entry kase so until the time na maglodge kame for ENS186 valid pa ung tourist visa.
1. Ok lang po ba un maglodge kahit may existing valid tourist visa? But we will be out of AU by the time na maglodge kame for ENS186 nasa Pinas na kame nun.
2. At what point po kame need magpamedical or kumuha ng insurance?
Family PR visa po ung plan namin i-lodge.
3. As per the Senior Management assessment for Managing Directors, no need na daw mag take ng english exam for assesment lang cguro po yun. Pero require padin po english exam pagmag submit na kme ng PR 186 visa right? Confirm ko lang sana. Thank you po sa mga sasagot.
Godbless you all!

Yes it is okay. Wala naming problem. Once approved (your PR visa), it will replace your tourist visa (if still valid)
2. At what point po kame need magpamedical or kumuha ng insurance?
Family PR visa po ung plan namin i-lodge.
Based on my experience, I did the medical after I lodged the PR visa application. Sa insurance naman, once your PR is granted, you are eligible sa Medicare which you can apply once you and your family are here. Besides medicare, I have private health insurance with extras (for dental, optical, etc.) It is up to you if you want to have one but you must have a cover for ambulance. Merong mga forums dito na nagdidiscuss ng pros and cons of having private health insurance.
3. As per the Senior Management assessment for Managing Directors, no need na daw mag take ng english exam for assesment lang cguro po yun. Pero require padin po english exam pagmag submit na kme ng PR 186 visa right?
I did take the English exam (IElTS), pati yung wife ko nag IELTS din. I am not sure sa case mo kasi nasa Senior management ka. I applied under the university lecturer skill list.
Baka other members can comment. I applied May 2016, so baka may mga bagong process na for 186.
