Want To Go To Australia

[booma]

I am currently living in Chiang Mai, and am interested in going to Australia for some work a friend has offered me. I am 38 and hold a UK passport.

Is this possible and how would I go about doing it if it is?

Thanks in advance,

B

Sorry didn't notice this forum.

I reckon you need to start here, and come back with any further questions.

Steal a chicken and the authorities will take care of the transport arrangements. Be prepared for a long voyage.

You may be better off returning to the UK and apply for a 457 visa to Australia if you meet the criteria. Do you have a trade or professional qualification? It would depend on the work offered and you may require sponsorship by an Australian employer.

Made me laugh. Ric the authorities have recently stopped this mode of transport.

You would need to apply for a working visa and the company must sponsor you....there is a criteria that the company has to meet for the sponsorship.
