Dear All,
I got WA sponsorship under Visa sub class 176.
One of the commitments with WA is that I shall transfer a certain amount of money to assist me in settling down in WA.
My question is will I need to show a proof of the money transfered? If so at what point in time? Will it be at port of entry? Or this is only a personal commitment to ensure that I have enough funds but I won't need to show any proof.

The state sponsorship agreement states as below;

"State sponsorship has been granted to you based on the commitment you intend to make to this state as outlined in your application;
1. Remain living in WA.........
2. You keep the WA Govt informed of your contacts....
3. You complete a settlement survey......
4. You transfer around AUD............ into WA for living costs and domestic arrangements."

My question is in relation to bullet No 4.

Whoever has an answer to my question will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and wish you all a happy and prosperous 2010.

Kind Regards
Salim.

Whether or not WA have specified an ammount or in what type of account it needs to be deposited is up to the WA government re granting of state nomination.

If they have already granted the nomination and that information has been relayed to the immigration department for your visa application to be a 176, once the 176 has been granted, the WA government have no authority over you having a visa and a right to enter Australia.

Their time to do something about it would be prior to your visa being processed and considering a cancellation of nomination if you did not abide by their conditions.
If they have not been specific about the funds and you want to comply, contact the WA department who issued the nomination.

Dear Wanderer,
Thank you for your quick response; this has assisted me in answering my fundamental concern.
Kind Regards
Salim

Does the same apply to the other undertakings (esp to live and work in regional area) provided to WA for state sponsorship? If those undertakings are breached, can there be any repercussions, for example, cancellation of subclass 176 visa or refusal to grant citizenship?
