191 PR Visa Application Question

So eto ang latest chika sa 191 application ko, mga marites! charot hehe

I lodged my 191 visa last March, and by Aug 14 I received an email from Immigration for s56 Request for more information. They were asking for new Australian Police Check for my wrongly spelled name! When I checked my name sa immi account ko, hala biglang nag iba nga yung name ko. So I created cover letter explaining about my wrongly spelled name and attached evidence like passport, 191 Visa Acknowledgement Application, Immi Grant Notice, indicating my full and correct name. Until now waiting pa ako sa response nila. But Im still wondering bakit nag iba spelling ng name ko. Does anyone encounter the same issue sa Immi account nila?

And also Im based here in Darwin, NT working as Data Analyst. Lipat na kayo dito oks ang sahod lalo na pag IT and contractual position

Not related po sa post nyo pero tanong ko lang kung anong occupation/profile po ang inaaplyan nyo for 491? Targetting data analyst din pero di ko alam san sya pinaka bagay. May nag suggest din sa akin na sa NT mag try. Thank you and congrats sa 191 visa approval!

Good day!

Mag ask lang po sana ako regarding 191 application.

We had our 491 visa last November 2020 but we were able to come here by June 2021.
I already had three NOA from ATO but the first year, I worked only for a month (1700aud only taxable income).

My question is are we eligible to apply for 191 since tinanggal na din nila ung income requirement for the said visa.

Thank you po sa sasagot

I think pwede na since it's been 3 years na since you were granted the visa. Good luck!

Hi ask ko lng po para sa 191 visa:

1) kung counted ba Ang part time job Basta May NOA? Ang part time job ba sa aussie is pwede na ideclare as taxable for NOA?

2) if remote work from ibAng Bansa, pwede po ba ideclare as taxable for NOA?

Salamat

yes - both part time and/or full time work basta reflected yung employer sa ATO account mo.
not sure how this will work for remote work na yung employer is outside Australia. You should talk to migration agent or financial expert about this.

Good day! Kumusta 191 application mo? Almost similar case natin, Oct 2020 na grant visa namin and dahil sa lock down, Jan 2022 pa kami naka pasok. So hopefully sa Jul 2024 we can apply 191 kasi meron na kaming 3 tax return.

lukey · April 5

Hi po, 491 visa here. BM in June. since Wla ma po ung minimum salary requirement for 191 visa, May nka experience po ba na part time work lng cya for 3 years Pero nasatisfy parin nya ung 191 visa? Salamat po.

arkitekmai · April 25

question po: currently i’m on 491 visa and was made redundant sa job ko. need ko ba i update sa immi account na im currently unemployed? though upon checking walang naka lagay na end date din dun at anung evidence ang ilalagay ko? anyone experience this? or kapag nag ka new employer na lang ako saka ko i-update? will it affect my 191 later on? thanks in advance.

Based on my understanding, need mo lang iupdate once you have a new employer na.

thank you, yan din yung naisip ko. and even sa immi account, it does not have any info regarding end date din ng bawat employer. asking lang dito at baka merong iba na naka experience din. salamats ulet!

Question po for 491 holders, Kailangan po ba iniinform ang immi kapag nagbabago ng address? Lalo sa mga nagrerent?

Same question din sakin. Pwede na din sana kami mag-apply by July 2024. Sana po makasagot kung may nakapag-try na

tigerlance · June 29

Questions po
1. Need ba working on your nominated occupation for at least 3 years before applying?
2. Need pa ba medical, and PTE para sa partner? pero tapos na kami noong 491 palang
3. What are the list of documents na sinubmit for 191?
4. If for example sa FY 2023 ( Paid on the Account on April to June 30, 2023), FY 2024 (Paid on the account for the (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024), FY2025(July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025) Pwede na ba since magenerate yan ng 3 tax assessments.

Credited to the account ang basis hindi yung date ka nagwork para mag generate ng tax assessments (tama ba ito)
5. Stayed in the regional area for 3 years (Dito ako sure)

Ayon sa mga questions mo ito yun personal answer ko.

Tingin ko kahit malayo sa occupation as long as may 3 consecutive notice of assessment ng ATO ppwede kang mag apply ng 191. Wala kasing nakasulat sa website na dapat gawin mo yung nominated occupation mo eh
Wala ding nakasulat sa website na need ng PTE and medical para sa partner pero once na nag apply ka na ng 191 minsan nag sesend sila ng email na need ng medical so far sa PTE wala akong nababalitaan na nagtake ulit.
ETO DIN ANG GUSTO KONG MALAMAN pero for sure na yung 3 consecutive notice of assessment from ATO, Tenant agreement, address, bills, payslip an the rest hindi ko na alam.
Kailan ka po na grant? kasi kami na grant kami ng Nov 22 then dumating nag OZ ng Jan 2023 then nag start kami mag work ng Feb 2023 kaya meron kaming 2022-2023 tax return so counted as 1 na yung the 2023-24 2nd 2024-25 3rd. Then nakasulat din sa 191 requirements na "hold an eligible visa for at least three years" so Dec 2025 kami mag aapply ng 191 kasi Nov 2022 kami nagrant eh dun kami nag count and may 3 consecutive notice of assessment ATO.
Pag may work ka legally starting July 1 - June 30 (next year) dun ka magkaka tax return.

You can receive notice of assessment even if you have a zero income. And naka state sa 191 na there is no minimum income requirement for 191.
Kaya mo ifile kasi para may evidence ka rin na di ka nakapagwork nung time na yun..

tigerlance · August 6

Ito kasi napaisip ako based dito https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-regional-191/regional-provisional#Eligibility
1. If I hold the eligible visa which is 491 since October 2020, and arrived in Australia in May 2022 because of covid lockdown. Philippine Passport holders cannot fly to Australia until 14 December 2021, masasatisfy ko na yung criteria no. 1

Ito yung nakasulat There is no minimum income requirement.

You must provide notices of assessment issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for three income years out of the five years of your eligible visa.

a) Even zero and income sa May 2022 - June 2022 (still kailangan mo ifile kasi nga paperwork rin ito na proof rin na di ka nakapaghanap that financial year) Still meron ako nareceive ng notice of assessment (FY 2022). Meron ng income ng FY 2023, and kakareceive ko lang ng FY 2024. Nasatisfy ko na ba ang requirment na ito

Comply with the conditions of your eligible visa
Visa Conditions
8578 - Notify us if your passport or contact details change:
8579 - Live, study and work in a designated regional area:
While you are in Australia, you must live, study and work in an area that is on the list of designated regional areas in an instrument.
If you hold a subclass 491 visa, the area must have been on the list of designated regional areas on the date we granted your visa
8580 - Provide evidence of your live, study or work address if requested:
8581 - You must attend an interview if we ask you to in a letter:

We declared everything, pero di mo maiiwasan lalampas ng ilang days kasi mahirap makakuha ng paperwork evidence kasi matagal magissue

4.Meet our health requirement
a) Di ko gets ito kasi some forums required daw maghealth requirement? Some hindi some meron. Nagpamedical naman na sa Pilipinas dati, need pa ba ulitin ang medical since meron na kami Medicare

Meet our character requirement
a) Kailangan ba magsubmit ng Form 80 and Form 1221 para sa requirement na ito. And kasama ang police clearance ng countries na napuntahan mo for the last 10 years. (Pilipinas and AU lang napuntahan ko for the last 10 years

6.Sign the Australian values statement
Self explanatory ito. Signed the form.

Pay back your debt to the Australian Government
Self explanatory ito. Be honest sa tax, no debt sa school if nagaral and etc.
No prior visa cancellations or application refusals
Pwede na kami magapply as a group since nagarrive ang partner ko using 491 Subsequent Entrant (491 last January 2024)?
Ano evidence ang dapat kunin sa nagpatira sa iyo ng libre? bukod sa proof of aged card?
other possible evidences kasi nung mayari ng bahay gusto cash ang bayad sa tinutuluyan nila since magisa lang naman ako nakatira doon.
Anong drop down header evidences ang nakasulat when you lodge the `191 visa?

Walang nasususulat na first entry date.

Have an eligible visa
You must hold an eligible visa when you apply. You must have held that visa for at least 3 years before you apply.

An eligible visa is a subclass 491 or subclass 494 visa.

Hello, ask ko lng meron na ba dito nag apply for 191 visa? I'm currently in 491 visa and eligible now to apply for 191 PR visa pathway. I've already meet the salary threshold as well the residency requirements here in darwin for 3 years. However, I can only produce 2 notice of assessment from ATO. Is it possible to submit my current Income Statement (as we're still in the middle of 2022-2023)?

2020 No income kasi wala work - no tax return
2021 With notice of assessment (above salary threshold)
2022 - With notice of assessment (above salary threshold)
2023 - Current Income Statement (above salary threshold). End of Financial year pa makukuha yung notice of assessment.

You can file Notice of Assessment kahit na zero income. Technically, no minimum threshold requirement, Inaasess nila kahit zero income. The above salary threshold ay para sa employers para mapasweldo ang 482 visa holders

Hi and TIA,

Hindi ko po sure if natanong na dito sa thread na ito regarding remote and hybrid work arrangement while under VISA 491.
Meron po ba naka experience na ng fully remote work with Sydney (or major city) based company and hybrid work (3days at home, 2 in office)? I know it's been mentioned here pero based on other's personal experience meron na po bang gumawa nito?

As far as I know hindi yan magiging counted, especially if weekly yung schedule mo sa office. Sa akin is 100% remote. You can check these:
