After years of travelling Ive recently come to the conclusion that with all whats going on in the UK right now the grass is greener on the other side..So I have decided i would quite like to emigrate to Australia..or at least have the option of living there in the future..
Problem is, I already used my year long work visa about 4 years ago for Australia, as part of my around the world travel and although I am fairly intelligent and hard working, I do not have a degree or indeed a particular trade. Thus getting a 2nd work visa with intentions of staying in Australia would be very difficult. (you can only get a second if you have worked in certain agricultural parts of Australia and can prove that you worked ie fruit picking)
A friend of mine got a job in New Zealand, and has been there around 1 1/2 years now, he is already applying for residency and should have it within 6 months. I think this means once he is a resident of NZ he can also live and work in Australia.
Seeing as I can still use my 1 year NZ work visa & he has already told me he could get me a job working for the same company, would this be the best route for me? to gain NZ citizenship first then move to Australia?...i'm 27 in Feb just for the record...I know both countries make it alot harder for you to get a visa once you hit 30..
Can anyone who has had experience in this advise?
Thanks in advance!
