How can i get a 491 visa as a offshore pharmacist? How many points are enough?

You have zero work exp points so invite is near to impossible as lots of offshore Pharmacy candidates with 5/10/15 work exp pts.

@sillybear4404 1y ago
Hi Gregor! Iβm not sure if this is happening on other peoples accounts, but Iβm getting these pop up advertisements that are fairly annoying. Is there anyway to change this? Thanks :)
@sakuni 1y ago
Same here. It covers the content
@sillybear4404 1y ago
Yeah! Itβs always at the top of each page and sometimes it takes over the whole page.
@funkychicken5404 1y ago
Same here!
@ashok.pichandi 1y ago
+1 - but if the ad is here for revenue generation, all good mate. You guys are paying for FOI every month, and might be paying for the host server and domain.
@gregormendel 1y ago
It takes a lot of resources to run SmartVisaGuide each month: dev salary, server/domain costs, data entry etc. This is 99% of the cost. FOI is less than 1% of the cost ($60 a month) and it's (us + community funded).
So instead of choosing to ask users to pay, we have chosen ads to cover some of the costs. This way the platform remains free to use for users.
@gregormendel 1y ago
I have asked our developer to allow a donation model, for users who want a pay a donation to help us cover costs. This will turn off the ads.
@funkychicken5404 1y ago
Oh i see. If its yours then all good mate! Additional earnings for all your efforts in helping us.
@sillybear4404 1y ago
@gregormendel that makes sense. Just glad itβs not spam, thanks!

All good :)
@cheekysquirrel8375 1y ago
@gregormendel what is FOI data? What does _P mean? Lodged_P for example?
@gregormendel 1y ago
Freedom of Information request _P means primary applicants only One EOI = One Primary applicant, but an EOI can have one or more secondary applicants too. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/access-and-accountability/freedom-of-information
