    Which visa are you applying for? 457? Returning resident? Asylum? There are at least a dozen possibilities, each with different rules

Conditions for visa subclass 189 do not stipulate minimum funds required, although they advise you should have enough money to settle as there are no welfare benefits for newly arrived migrants for at least 2 years.

In the case of the closely related state sponsored visa (subclass 190), some states have finance requirements for obtaining their sponsorship. For instance Victoria lists in its Offshore table, the value of $AUD 30,000 for single applications, 35,000 for one dependant, 40,000 for two dependants and so on.
