If I am issued a Temporary Visa 457, how soon can I apply for residence?

Also, when I apply for residence I will be over 45 years of age. Will I still be considered for residence and if refused, will I have to return to NZ with all my family? (Currently a NZ resident).

Trickey one, We habe lived here for 3 years now and ar applying for residencey, YOu could always apply for a sponsered work visa. Your employer sponsers you and that way it is much quicker. YOu can apply when you arrive or earlier. If you have no luck ring an immigration bearu and they can someitmes arrange a job for you.

it is all based on a points test...age is important the younger you are, the more points you'll get. and you have to be under 45 to apply for any australian visa unless you are a nz citizen. nz permanent resident is not enough.
