Oldbint14 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi everyone Just a couple of general questions please. If you are over 45 can you not even get a sponsorship and move over? Also say my partner got a sponsored job does that mean it doesn't have to be on the skilled shortage list? Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There is no age limit on the sponsored temporary work visas (i.e. the TSS / 482 visas), but these are temporary only and if you are over 45, except in very limited scenarios, there will be no path to permanent residence. The occupation must still be on one of the skills shortage lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbint14 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thanks very much. What would very limited scenarios be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, there is currently an age limit of 50 for transitioning to PR when holding a visa issued under the NT DAMA agreement. If you want to explore such scenarios it would be best to get some professional advice, as these are complex scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Basically what Paul is saying is, if you're over 45, you can come over to Australia to work for a few years and treat it as an adventure. However, it's extremely unlikely that you'll be able to migrate to Australia permanently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
