Work opportunity at Sydney for 475 Visa Holder
 

Hi Members,

I think there are lot of experts at this forum. Can you please suggest me if someone (Holding 475 regional sponsored visa) gets a Job offer at Sydney is there any way he can join? or as soon as he joins its illegal or all he has to ensure that he work and stay at two years region within his three years visa?

Thanks

You'll be breaking the terms of your visa, and so when it comes to applying for PR, you won't be eligible, as you won't have met the criteria.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. If i work for one year and then come back to region to fulfill the visa condition?

Re: Work opportunity at Sydney for 475 Visa Holder
 

No you cannot take a job in Sydney. You must have understood this before you applied for the 475?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

Actually i got the Job offer. What if i am confident that i will be able to convert my visa to PR before my 475 visa expires.

Then you won't be on a 475 so the question is moot anyway. :confused:

You are not allowed to work in Sydney on a 475 visa - if you do you and are found out you will likely be deported. You will not be able to convert to PR because you will not have complied with the terms of your visa

Whilst you are on a 475 visa, you cannot live or work in Sydney.

To do so would be a breach of your visa, it will certainly come to light when you apply for PRband your PR would be refused and you will need to leave Australia.

I really don't know why you're bothering to ask, since you seem fairly determined to try to circumvent the rules - regardless of what any of us here say. Just in case you don't think that DIBP will deport people who don't keep the visa requirements that they knew about and signed up to, I'll just leave this here. :sneaky:

Maybe the OP is dyslexic and meant 457! ;-)

457s aren't region dependent. ;)

Yep I get that. It was a joke. :p

I know - hence my winking smiley. :) It's a good thing to put in case others read and don't realise that it is a joke though.
