How Can DAMA's Help You To Secure Permanent Residency?
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 05. 2022
- Designated Area Migration Agreements known as DAMA's are an often overlooked pathway to permanent residency. Yes, you do need to find an employer who is willing to sponsor you but there are many out there in these regions who are willing to do so.
It is really best placed for those visa holders who are onshore already holding visas that give them permission to work anywhere such as 485 and Working Holiday visas. For offshore potential applicants, it would be difficult to secure a sponsor but not impossible.
You can check out the Immigration Departments web site which has the current DAMA's listed. More are being added in the near future so keep checking;

@ Australian Immigration Law Services - Is it mandatory and necessary to hold an address in the regional area that you are sponsored at?

Sorry Kapeluszu we do not get involved in helping people find jobs. Thanks for watching
thanks for sharing a good topic , DAMA require study and work in the same regional or can offshore ?
ex : I hd Study at Melbourne and apply DAMA at NT.
Hi Karl, thank you for this video! The ocuputation list say that it's possible to get a PR for many jobs like Sales Representative in East Kimberley that is not on the government ocuputation list. So if understand it right, it's possible to start with a 494 or 491 visa in a DAMA area and after 3 year's applying for the 191 visa and live in a non regional area?!

I hope you don’t me asking a couple of questions about the 494 visa (via a DAMA):
- I understand it’s possible to move employers without needing to apply for a new 494 (if moving to the same occupation, & if the employer goes through the normal approval steps), but I’m hoping to ask whether the new employer can be in a different DAMA region (as seems to be the case with moving employers on some other state/ regional sponsored visas)?
- I understand the main applicant is required to begin working for the sponsoring employer within 90 days of entering Australia (if applying offshore) - but I’m just wondering whether it’s only the main applicant’s entry that would trigger this (or whether the secondary applicant's entry would trigger it too...i.e. if the secondary applicant entered before the main applicant)?
Thanks in advance for any info or pointers you might be able to give.
Hi Karl, I am near the point of the visa being drafted for a 482 temp work visa. The job is in Warnnambool as a diesel motor mechanic. I watched your video and navigated using your link. To find that diesel motor mechanic is on the DAMA list for this area. What should I do?
I am actually in Warnnambool at the moment on a working holiday visa.
Thanks Rob

Hi. I am quite confused. Some say DAMA is up to age 55 only. Once turned 55 you are no longer eligible but some say as long as you haven’t reached the age 56 you are still qualified. Which is which? Thank you

When transitioning from a 482 DAMA to a 186 do you have to be below the age concession when the 186 is submitted?, or can a 186 DAMA be applied for with a previous 482/494. Thanks😊
you know about (In light of the upcoming consultation and anticipated reform, new DAMA requests are currently not being accepted at this time, though guidance materials to assist interested stakeholders will be available shortly.)
Hi Karl,
I have a question.. I'm little lost because my husband and I we went to see an MARA Agent here in Cold Coast.. he said that North far Queensland will be the place for us because of our age and what we are looking for . We are are 40 years me and 47 years him. He said that the place will be the fastest pathway... to go to the PR ( question of time ) but as you mentioned In your video Northern Territory it is the fastest pathway also ? I'm lost .. what are thinking about North far Queensland, please? It is a DAMA place also ...
The things is that my intention is to study Early childhood worker then looking for a sponsorship to go ahead to the PR but all of this in a short time. Thank you for your help. Sandra

Hi I want to come to be sponsored to come and work in regional areas in Australia how can I be helped.
Can a 482 DAMA visa holder also qualify for the 191 visa? if they have been in regional as a student, skilled 485 then DAMA and not wait for the employer to sponsor the 186? 😊
No sorry Tin you would have to use the 186 or go for the 494 which leads to 191. Thanks for watching

I'm offshore, looking to apply for 482 labour agreement stream(Tasmania). How do i know that my employer has taken age exemption with home office/concerned authority.Though they are saying 'yes', i want it to be cleared as am 44 now(due to PR age restrictions). However i have asked my employer for a copy of agreement. Is there any alternate way to double check?
Just in case, If i want to change my job, is there any possibility to shift to DAMA visa in other state as Tasmania is not under DAMA regions. I mean to say that, can i shift to dama region and find a employer on the same visa?
.
Please suggest me a way.
Thanks in advance
