RSMS question
Hi All
I have a question about the RSMS visa - I know its not a common type of PR but someone may know.
If you are on an RSMS visa do you actually have to LIVE in the regional area, or just WORK there. I have been offered a job in a regional area postcode but want to live outside that area just to be closer to uni for my lads. I would commute to the area as its not far but is this allowed? I have seen, for SIR visas you do need to live and work in the regional area - does this apply to RSMS too or is it essentially the same visa?
Many thanks

Work there.
Although there might be complications if you left the job before the 2 years were up and were not living in a regional area.
It's a different visa.

Thanks JAJ
I have every intention of it being permanent (ie > 2 yrs) as I have already met the employer - its just that we want to live a bit closer to the uni for ease of travelling for them. I hope to travel the half hour to the regional job so sounds as if that should be ok - many thanks.
