Hello everyone! Today's video is about 491.
491 is also a general skill migration.
Many people ask questions about it and I will try to cover this
You need 3 steps for this too.
3 steps are must for general skill migration
The first step is Skill Assessment.
The skill assessment should be your full skills assessment.
not the provisional skill assessment
Full skill assessment means the skill assessment must be done related to your occupation or qualification
through relevant assessing body
they are of different types I will talk about some major things
For engineering skill assessment you don't need work experience.
If you have completed 4 years of engineering
For IT, you need one year of post study work experience
and for accounting, external auditor you don't need work experience but English language proficiency
Similarly there are other occupations in which some of them require work experience and some of them don't
Second step of 491 have Expression of Interest
but in many states it has (ROI) Registration of Interest
For example, if we talk about New South Wales
there are two pathways included
and New South Wales regional areas have almost 14 regions.
and every region has different RDAs
sometimes it become tricky for 491
Third one is when you receive final invitation then you apply
There is a frequently asked question about 491
that is this visa PR or not?
It is a provisional temporary visa
Provisional means the temporary visa that lead to PR when you satisfy the conditions naturally
For example if you have 491 visa
so it is granted for five years
you have to live in regional Australia for those five years
Regional Australia's definition is given and I have talked about it in other videos
so you have to live and work in regional Australia for minimum 3 years
and you can do any work in that time
For example if you are doing accounting but do not find job related to it you can do something else.
You can do business or job.
You can do more than one job.
What you have to do is this live and work in regional Australia
secondly, you have to earn gross income of 53,900
Gross means before the tax deduction
which means you earned 53,900 for 3 years out of those 5 years.
It can be of first three years, last three years, or 1st, 3rd and 5th years
when your 3 years get completed you naturally go on transition for 491
which is a PR
so it came under the definition of provision too
that it is a temporary visa in which you go for permanent residency naturally.
People ask me what we need to do Work
As I said earlier that people get invitations for PR for motor mechanic
So you can do any job
The second is, can you apply for any other visa for 491?
491 visa holders can't apply for 189 and 109 in first 3 years.
In first 3 years there is a condition that you can't apply directly
so automatically 191 become possible after 3 years
and even after that you can apply for 190 or 189
these are the aspects related to 491
491 visa is family sponsored too.
Family sponsored means if your sibling or close relative living in regional Australia and a usual resident
so you can take this pathway too for 491 visa.
so these are the 2 categories; state nomination and family sponsored.
491 visa will naturally convert into 191 visa.
So these were some aspects, if you have any query you can comment in the comment section.
