Answer 1

I believe so, yes :)

Let them sponsor you for your visa, you must apply for an Australian Family Sponsored - Visitor Short Stay (Subclass 679) Visa, you can see the requirements here: http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/visitor/...

If not, get the electronic visa! This visitor visa allows you to visit family members in Australia, as well as travel around the country for 12 months.

But if you're planning to work and then permanently reside to Australia, my best bet would be to go there as a skilled immigrant.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Take a look at the EXPO coming up soon - http://expo-australia.com

Immigration is there to help with forms and questions - but everything is explained on how to work and live in Australia.  If you have a skilled job that Australia is short on (eg: nursing) then job offers can be made on the spot too)

Good Luck

Answer 6

If your closest relative in Australia is an auntie, then you wouldn't qualify for a family reunion visa unless she is your only living relative and even then, it would be doubtful.

Depending on where you're from, you may be able to get a Working Holiday visa for 12 months and then extend that by another 12 months if you do seasonal work in a regional area for 3 months during the first 12 months. After that though, there can be no extensions. The only other way is to come in as a skilled worker in some occupation where Australia needs workers. Not all occupations are trades - IT workers, nurses and some others also qualify. See http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121... for the full current list.

Take heart though. We have a new government here who are currently talking about greatly increasing our intake of workers, both skilled and unskilled from overseas. As politicians do, they will talk about it for ages, but it looks as if some of the restrictions may ease in the not too distant future.

Keep a close eye on our immigration website as it is constantly updated as rules change:
