Any idea how long it takes once allocated a case officer?
Hi Maz,

I'm not sure, I guess it depends on if everything is front loaded etc.

Whereabouts are you heading?

Hey... Do 475ers have to pay taxes in Australia? Does any one know?

Please say NO, if I don't qualify for medicare or discounted education, then why would I pay a tax

Hi everyone

Thanks for all your kind wishes. It took all of eight months and 20 days but it was well worth the wait. What I did notice when the grant letter finally arrived is that it came from team 2 when we started off with team 1. I don't know if this added to the delays but we went from one department to another. Just a thought

Hope you all hear soon

The 475 visa is technically a temporary residency visa, so possibly you are able to make use of the temporary tax resident provisions ...

Best regards.

Alan this is news indeed. Where could we find out more information about this, if indeed it is a possibility?

If there are benefits of the 475, as opposed to hoops to jump through, I'm sure we'd all be really interested in exploring them!
