Re: Thank You Australia!
when you get E3 visa do you become non-resident for Aust tax purposes? given the options i'd rather be treated as Oz tesident under the Oz-US tax treaty.

One calculation is that E-3 guarantees Australians 15% of combined annual US visas for persons in specialty occupations, if they want such visas, even though Australia only has 0.3% of the world’s non-US population.
