    The visa is valid for 5 years...489(old) visa is only valid for 4 years
    Can apply for PR visa after 3 years after complying the residency and work requirements...unlike 489 visa, PR application can be done after 2 years of living and working in a regional area

    @MsFaith There are only 7 DAMAs currently in place so di lang skills under dama ang kasama...491is just the old 489 with some changes..your nominated occupation should be in the state occupations list and you should apply for state nomination

    @MsFaith 489 was never ever available for Melbourne. 489 is for regional areas only and Melbourne isn’t a regional area. It would be the daw case with 491.

    Hi... ask ko lang sa bagong visa na 491. I-sponsor kasi ako ng brother ko from a regional area. Any idea regarding sa kailangan na paper works ng brother ko to sponsor me? Para ma-ready na daw niya before November 16... and another question, I'm a software engineer for 7 years, nakita ko sa NSW available daw sa Far South Coast ang Softwqre Engineer. Ibig ba sabihin walang issue kahit sa regional ako ng NSW kasi nasa occupation list pa din ako ee? Thanks!
