A Uk nurse with lupus
I registered nurse with 10 years experience. I was diagnosed with SLE in Systemic Erythomatous Lupus (2002) affected my lungs. I have interstitial lung disease treated and shrunken lung syndrome 2013.
Medication: Dihydrocodeine 60mg tablets QDS, Tacrolimus 1mg per day, Lansoprazole 60mg, Prednislone 7mg.
I have a British passport. I am 37 yes old.
What are my chances of getting a visa in New Zealand or Australia?
Regards
Carol

Again. This is for New Zealand, not Australia.
It is a job offer first before you can apply for a work visa. That job offer would need to be for the two years to gain that length of visa .
Are you perhaps thinking of a New Zealand Work to Residence visa ?
A temporary work visa wuld have differing health requirement criteria. It wold likely come down to costs to NZ for meds etc.
HOWEVER you would still need to show that you met the residency health standard requirement if you applied for that even after two years in NZ. From what you have written it is doubtful you could gain a medical waiver.

Edit: Just found this one - https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...l-shortage-482 but you need to be sponsored. I can't imagine anything is really happening at the moment anyway. You certainly wouldn't get into the country for the foreseeable future.
Email George Lombard. He's a top migration expert specialising in medical issues. If he says no chance you won't have to waste time and money looking for a sponsor.

Re: A Uk nurse with lupus
I'm totally out of the loop on Australian work visas but I can't think of a two year one.

As you said though, nothing is going to happen with it at present. No employer is going to be thinking of sponsoring people at present, anyone who hods a 482 and isn't here already can't get here and their visas may well expire before they get the chance to move. Many 482 holders here are lsing their jobs and are thus in dire financial straits.
Only thing one can really do at present is talk to an agent ike George Lombard about the chances of passing the medical, nothing else is going to be possible for months to come.
