189 visa granted, will reside in AUS but employed out of Singapore?

quicksilver · January 2016

Hello, tanong lang po. I’m from Singapore and currently have a job that may allow me to move to Aus and be a remote employee of our Singapore office. Wala kaming office sa Aus so work from home lang ako nun if ever.

Is this a valid arrangement given that I have a granted 189 Aus visa? If ever kasi, parang my taxes are still based out of Singapore. Do I need to at some point have to let go of my Singapore based employment and have to find an Aus company if I stay for good in Aus?

Salamat!

This is ok... I have a few friends doing same arrangement.

And the less people who knows about this arrangement the better.

Try to assess also if your sg employment na work from home in Au is panglongterm na. Else, better find a job in Au while may income ka pa from SG. You're one of the few lucky guys now

Agree here as I don't think employed in SG but working from Australia will really be a long term option...

As much as possible try looking for local experience na rin.
