Does anyone know the answer to this one: if we are being sponsored by family in Adelaide, when we finally go to oz do we have to live in Adelaide for 2 years or can we live in another state? very confused as thought you could live anywhere but have been told this morning we have to live by sponsors- any advice gratefully received!!
The short answer is that as the holder of a 139-Skilled Designated Area Sponsored visa you can live anywhere you likein Australia.
The expectation is that most holders of 139-visas will settle close to their family relatives, but there is no requirement to do so - at least not at present.
Best regards.
