Studying in Metropolitan area in 489 Visa

[ChatuWickrama]

Hi guys,

I'm holding 489 (Tasmania) visa and have applied 887 in last September. My 489 is valid until September 2021. My husband was the main applicant of these 2  visas.

Meanwhile, I was offered a one year course to complete my BSc.Of Nursing from one of the Melbourn CBD universities. (actually not a bridging course, it's a final year direct entry to their normal BSc. of Nursing programme) I was a Registered Nurse in my country and I have to start this course this year itself, otherwise, my overseas qualifications are going to be expired.

I have already contacted the State University in Tasmania but they do not give credits to overseas studies. Honestly, I do not want to leave Tasmania because we are well settled here. I wish to live and work here meanwhile flying Melbourne weekly for 2 days classes. 

Do you think I can do this? Are there anybody having similar experiences? 

Thanks  guys. really appreciate your help.

As per the rules you should be studying in regional area only and in city; i would highly recommend calling DIBP and checking with them.

Hi Guys

 

Can anyone help me to get the answer for following tow question

(1) I am holding a 489 visa and I stayed in NT. I can apply for PR  end of this year. Will I be able to move to norther regional areas in NSW or Queensland and work there until I get he PR?

(2) My wife is the main applicant of the 489 but I have to apply for the PR  as she could not get enough hours to cover the 35 h/ week. So, when I apply for the PR 887 do I want to do the IELTS?

I am having same problem. I have to do my bridging program, as i am on my 489visa we have already applied 887 on 2018 December, it’s very hard to find course on regional area, so can I go and read on city just for 3 months. Anybody with similar problem.
