Hello all. Lost my previous email so had to start a new account.
Just a bit of confusion with my conditions for SMC residency I recently got.
Section 49(1) conditions
Your resident visa is subject to the following section 49(1) conditions:
If you have an offer of skilled employment, you must take up the employment within three months of the grant of your resident visa. You must then remain in that employment for at least 12 months.
If you are in current skilled employment for less than three months, you must remain in the employment for at least 12 months.
Now that’s all well and good, but none really apply to me? I’ve worked in the same job/employment for several years (albeit a new contract just after applying, I was ‘casual’ which wasn’t acceptable to immigration so I got taken on permanently)
So does this mean I’ve been in skilled employment for less than 3 months because it doesn’t count until I got my new contract? (Which was in December of last year)
Sorry if not to clear, I’ll clarify further if someone understands some!
Thanks in advance
