Hello guys,

Is there a way to fly into Australia without being a resident or citizen?

I scored 95 for 189 visa but Australia can't invite me because I live offshore. I will be 32 in August 2022. I worry that I will lose 10 age points before Australia border reopens.

I'm running out of time.

Why would you lose 10 points? When you reach 33, you can claim 25 points instead of 30 so that’s 5 points only.

Hi po. Yung medical po ba hinihingi ng CO after magsubmit ng application for visa 190? Naalala ko kasi sa visa 482 ko bago kami magsubmit ng application, nag apply ako sa "my health declarations" sa immiaccount. Ngayon wala nang ganung option. Currently meron pa akong health dec na "submitted" ang status pero feb2021 pa expired. Di kaya dahil dun kaya wala akong option to apply?

@jakibantiles you can generate your HAP ID once malodge mo na visa 190.

Ayun! Salamat po!

Oh I see. I thought I'm going to lose 10 points after 32. Thanks Rhea.

Hello po. I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist and currently, I have 70 points. How many months or years will it take for me to be invited after passing the EOI? Estimate lang po if may idea kayo hehe. Applying for visa 189. Thank you po! ❤️

It's a case-to-case basis, so I wouldn't really expect a particular timeframe. The current trend is that people with 95+ points get invited first, with a focus on target sectors (accounting, IT, healthcare). As it is now, Australia has focused on inviting those who are already onshore, so if you're offshore right now, you are bumped down to the bottom of the queue. Also, the allocation for skilled migration (189 is more competitive than 190 state-sponsored) for 2021-2022 has been lowered in favor of family visas, so the likelihood of getting an invitation right away is much lower than pre-pandemic times. But lodge an EOI anyway, and continue on with your work/life as you wait for that invitation.

No one knows at the moment. Offshore applications are not a priority and we don’t see it happening until mid year next year. Best to go on EOI queue and utilise all possible chances to maximise your points. Alternative pathways could possibly be via employer sponsorship or studying.

Hello po, does anyone have updates po abt opening po of 190 especially dun sa mga recently added back sa PMSOL? i lodged 189 already, waiting for 190 updates from any of the states. Thank you in advance.

@kh2021 your 491 visa grant letter should have a list of eligibilities/restrictions to follow.

@engineer20, thanks for the reply. My visa only says these that's why I'm really confused:

The PMSOL is more for 482 visas. If you are able to find an employer to sponsor you and they qualify as sponsor then PMSOL is very useful.

thanks po. if you're granted 482 po ba, you have restrictions on subsequent visas? (e.g., 189, 190) or you can still continue with 189, 190 applications whie you're on 482? thank you

Hello po. Wala naman pong restrictions

If, for example po na invite for 189/190 then na lodged na yung application, makacancel po ba yung 482 kasi mag bridging visa ulit?

patrick21 · August 2021

Hi po, magtatanong lang po. Kailangan po ba may visa ka na before ka maghanap ng work sa australia or dapat may job offer ka muna bago mag-ayos ng visa? Newbie lang po ako dito. Salamat po.

482 will continue and if it expires before visa is granted, bridging visa will take effect. Hope that helps

I think pwede, lagay ka nalang ng written explanation na 3weeks pa yung COC. Pero after lodging pwede kapa ding mag attached ng documents. Specially pag may change of important documents. U can lodge na. To follow nalang ung coc.

hello po sa lahat,

my gusto lang sana akong iclarify sa recent update ng TAsmania subclass 491 for Overseas Applicants (https://www.migration.tas.gov.au/skilled_migrants/skilled_regional). sa application process (photo shown below) is dapat ang EOI submitted should be 6months or less. i created an EOI for the TAS state last November 2020 so does this mean I have to create a new EOI to be considered for review? or paano po mag update ng EOI?.. TIA sa lahat.
