    ...You or your partner must be related to your sponsor as one of the following:
    a child – including a stepchild
    a parent – including a step–parent
    a brother or sister – including adoptive or step-sibling
    a niece or nephew – including adoptive or step–niece or nephew
    an aunt or uncle – including adoptive or step–aunt or uncle
    a grandparent or first cousin.

    @tikbalang, okey naman in demand naman yung work ng husband ko at mataas nga demand dun sa IT jobs, ang mahirap kasi yung maghanap ng employer na mag-i-sponsor kasi usually what they require to the applicant is that you are already holder of PR visa, eh mag a-apply pa nga lang for PR. Yun nga magastos din ang 475 kasi yun government benifits ng PR hindi mo pa makukuha like medicals, etc sayo pa yun until ma-grant kana ng PR residency. Pero dun sa mga 475 na ang options at walang makitang chance sa 175 at 176 grab nyo na lang pero kasi sa amin... least chance namin ang 475.

    475 doesn't need to be sponsored by an employer. Parang 176 eto, kaso nga lang sa regional area ang bagsak mo, at di ka pde tumira sa ibang lugar nang state kundi don lang sa nag sponsor sayo na region. 176 SS is 5 pts, and 475 is 10 pts,kasi nga scarce ang manpower dito gawa nang nasa sulok ang area at hindi nasa metropolitan. Perth ang maganda sa 475 kasi kung titingnan mo sa mapa, ang sentro nang perth ay part nang regional classification. Makikita mo to pag nag-apply ka nang RSS sa website nila.

    Eh, what about naman yung mga benefits for 475 hindi ba sa grantees pa yun unlike sa 176 at 175 i-confer na sayo yan ng Centrelink agad?

    475 visa is provisional or temporary , so no benefits.

    I can't see any pessimism on 475. It is a pathway for permanent residency. It is true that you are excluded from medicare and centrelink benefits. The mere fact you decided to migrate to Australia it’s bcoz you wanted to live and WORK, not to get hospitalized, nor to get into the queue of locals begging for centrelink benefits, etc.

    You can earn much if you work hard, and you’ll find out that the fee for private health insurance is a “chicken feed” and as easy as pie to pay.

    True! but if you have any better option other than 475, why not? we'll try first our best option before we go or rather decide to take the route of 475...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but 475 is valid for six years but you can apply for a permanent residence visa even before that 6 years is exhausted diba?

    Kumbaga sa college, kung habol mo quota course pero mahirap makapasok dun, edi sa non-quota ka muna mag apply at pag nasa university ka na saka ka mag apply dun sa gusto mo talaga hehe

    May Public Schools po na puwede dun pumasok ang mga bata...at kasing ganda lang ng quality ng education ng public sa private nila dun (hindi tulad sa Pinas hehe)

    Not sure if it's entirely free pero I'm sure di kayo mamumulubi sa education sa Australia

    Visa 475 is valid only for three years after first entry. May schools na pwedeng free education kahit hindi PR. but may mga requirements na need i-submit.
