491 Benefits and Requirements

pancakedays

Hi, just want to make sure po about sa benefits ng 491. Aside from being able to work live study in a designated place in AU for 5 years, pwede po ba mag apply sa Medicare yung 491 visa holders lang? Are there any health care benefits for 491?

And sa requirements, I can't seem to find if kailangan po ba ng proof of funding (bank statement)?

Thanks po sa sasagot

Yes Medicare parang Philhealth sa atin, pero siyempre kailangan mo rin ng private insurance just like yung permanent visa holders para macovered like ambulance cover and etc.
After 3 years (assuming nagcomply ka sa requirements), apply 1 year for 191 permanent visa, then apply for citizenship.

Sa permanent visa, after 4 years ang stay sa au, pwede na sila magapply ng citenship

Kinailangan ang bank statement kung saan pinapasok ang sweldo mo. Nagsubmit ako nun as added proof sa working experience ko. Pero hindi dahil sa proof of funding.
