verystormy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 You can come on a tourist visa. The risk is that it is granted just as the pr is granted and if it were just afterwards, then it would cancel the pr. Also, some visas need to be granted while you are offshore, so you would need to check if yours is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 If you're on a visitor visa - you wouldn't be able to work, there's also a job freeze on at the moment so not sponsorship visa's will be available. As Stormy said, you may have to be off shore when the PR visa is granted - a lot of people go to Bali for this - but it is an additional expense for flights/accommodation/holiday expenses that you'd probably be able to use in setting up your home.

Tiggerprawns Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi Ali, I've been reading this post and just wanted to ask about the job freeze - I'm an ITU nurse, planning to move to Perth in June/July time . I already have the or visa and ahpra registration in place, so was going to start applying for jobs in the new year...... Is this a freeze of nursing jobs state-wide? Or just for state sponsored nurses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 As VS says it's pretty much the whole of the public sector. This happens a lot due to the budgets of hospitals. You could try the private sector for jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegg Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yes, im a paediatric nurse in cardio …… So dissapointed as weve been at this for 3 years but only just got back on it due to failing the ilets so many times - left us so deflated . But last year we said thats it! - so got back on it and past ilets - Even sold house to release funds and pay for visa process. So were sat here now paid for everything , thousands spent …………………. thinking is this really meant to be ? We have been forced to jump through hoop after hoop on this journey and now if we do get out , all i may be offered is temp work . And to think when we started the process we got so many offers of "ring us " as soon as youve got your registration , due to be a paediatric nurse in cards …. gosh i felt quite in demand ) I have been offered a job in Melbourne ….. but WA is where our heart is really . what will be will be , i supose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
