Ballaratburd Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi all, asking a few questions on behalf of a friend who visited me in March and has been talking about moving here ever since. Her husband is a marine engineer which is on the skills list but only eligible for the 187 RSMS visa. Am I correct in saying that he would need to secure employment first then apply for this visa? Is it possible to get the visa application in motion then try to apply? Does anyone have any experience of this visa living in regional Victoria? Since I live in regional Victoria I figured I would start my research based on that. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yes he would need an employer to sponsor him before applying for a visa. Are there jobs for Marine Engineers in rural Victoria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there jobs for Marine Engineers in rural Victoria?I think most likely south Australia but they haven’t even got as far as looking for jobs yet as I had advised that getting the visa first was the best option, however that was when I thought his job was eligible for a 189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
