If you dont mind me asking which state 190 you applied for?

i'm currently applying 190 for WA. We actually need to sign a form stating you agree to stay 2 year in WA, agree for home visit and survey from the states at least once every 6 months and whatsoever...
So i always thought we have to oblige and stay 2 years T.T

SA.

Sign a form? Didn't know there's such a thing. Have heard of the surveys, but those can be easily ignored as they're via email.


Anyway WA is not bad lah, I lived there for 2 years. It's warmer than Vic/ NSW, so that's a plus. And if you ever want to fly back to KL for a holiday, flights are cheaper.

Yes, the State Nomination Agreement thingy!!
It state that you agree to remain living and working in WA for the first 2 years and agree to register your address with the WA govt and keep them informed your contact details. Somemore got registration survey, settlement survey etc. Then proof of funds also...
I guess every state have different requirement then.

Yea WA is quite good in a sense that it is nearer to Msia. But summer in WA is killing...41 celcius in the day and 16 at night...

That not bad lah, it's not 41 every day. Some days 44, and Once in a while it'll drop to 28, 25. Nights are nice and cool. 16 is lovely.

Yea SA not so annoying. Not at all. I know ACT also ask for proof of funds. Thank god SA never asked. NSW application is complex.

Yes need to show you have 20k in your account if you are single applicant.
Anyway, as long as PR granted, i will be good and stay in WA as long as they want. lol...
Applying PR under accountant is really tough now as they have halved accountant to half and now only limited 70 pointers get invitation.
i'm lucky enough to get invitation as a 65 pointer.
finger crossed for the result!

Best of luck. Tough for accountants and engineers, but keep you fingers & toes crossed

Not all the time.

Depends alot on the Antarctica belt weather. This year confirm its going to be scorching heat.

Best of luck!

Hey when are you planning to head to WA for good? Or are you already in WA? I aim to be in WA as well after my 189 is granted, which I think is about, mid or 3Q 2016.

Thanks mate!!



Yea it is getting hotter nowadays!!!
Thanks so much mate

Hi Jianh,
I'm still in the middle of my 190.
Still waiting for the stupid certificate of good conduct from Msia which they advise me will take around of 2 months?!?!?!
My Aust PCC already out despite applying on the same day!!!

My agent said it might take 3 months to know whether PR granted.
So might be expected to leave around Feb/March i would say if everything come out positive.

Which part in WA you staying?

Not sure yet, to be honest I have no idea at the moment. Cant be choosy when I get there so I'm quite open to options. You?

I would most probably still stay in SOR area around canning vale or thornlie.
More Asian...lol...
Coz i used to work in Perth before i apply my PR for about 3 years.
Familiar with that area already and rental is also cheaper.

Oh I see. Nice.

Well for one, I'm definitely gonna avoid Bentley. Had bad experience once in that area. Got mugged, didn't get hurt though.

Wait, Canning Vale and Thornlie have cheaper rental? Now this I didn't know, noted.

Avoid Bentley.expensive rental due to Curtin and not safe due to too many international student. Can say many robber n thief also them...

Thornlie is cheap coz near gosnell. But canning vale depends which part.

Gosnell n armadale is cheaper but is a really dodgy area according to the local. Many abo...

Let me know when u going...!

Sure thing and thanks for the info!! =D

No lah mine took 2-3 week, max. Just make sure to check online.

The Aus one was even quicker, they mailed within 10 days.

Agreed, but avoid Gosnells. Lots of trailer park types. Opposing suburbs like Maddington & Thornlie are great, all under the City of Gosnells, but much nicer suburbs.

Yea ikr!
Arghh, houses in Gosnells are so cheap compared to Maddington and Thornlie.
But everyone say no no to that area.
But then i always think that since i'm from Msia, these areas might be small cases...lol

You can get it in two weeks from kln website, then get Aussie embassy here to issue a printout. Two months ? Unheard off.
