491 Visa
Hello,
Please don’t turn this into a “we’ve got loads of unemployed local pilots debate”
A few months back I saw that pilot was on the list of skilled occupations for the 491 visa - Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa so I recently paid one of the visa consultancy companies to asses me and it came back that I potentially would be eligible.
I’m a UK citizen with 2000hrs on turbo props.
My question is am I likely to be approved ? From what I’ve always known pilots have been ineligible for work visas for a very long time. So it came as a surprise when the consultancy company came back with “Potentially Qualified”
I don’t want to pay them and Home Affairs a ton of money for it just to get rejected.
Does anyone know anyone who is going through this process as a pilot and / or whether applicants have been successful?
Thanks in advance
