Makikisingit lng dn. I asked our migration agent about this issue dn and sinabi nya that there won't be any problem with this. kasi wala nmn dw nkalagay sa visa condition ko na sa WA lng ako dpat mgstay and it's just more of a moral commitment dw. And Australia got no means to check all immigrants kung san na sila nkalocate. I'm very skeptical about his answer. Sbi nga ng iba, you'll never know kung mgkaron ng complication in the future.

Dear Christopher
Thank you for your email. It is not a condition of your visa that you reside in South Australia, but an agreement for state sponsorship between you and the state that sponsored you. It is not an Immigration matter. Please contact your state to discuss with them if you decide to live outside of SA. Please see the link to our website for your obligations relating to state sponsorship.
http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/190.aspx
I am not able to provide you with any information regarding Citizenship. Please refer to our website for further information in relation to Citizenship.

You have access to sufficient funds for living costs and domestic arrangements in Western Australia.
