Answer 5

How old is your boyfriend? If he falls between 18-30, he can avail of this this kind of visa: Australia's Working Holiday Program provides opportunities for eligible young people aged between 18 and 30 years (inclusive) to holiday in Australia and to supplement their travel funds through incidental employment.

The Australia's Working Holiday Program was established in January 1975 and with the main purpose to "promote international understanding by enabling young people to experience the culture of another country."

There are almost no limits to what employment a working holiday maker visa holder can undertake, and although traditionally most of the jobs have been in hospitality or harvest work, many are finding opportunities in finance, education, health care and other industries.

Until recently the Australian working holiday visa was a one-year once in a lifetime opportunity, but recent legislative changes now allow any visa holder who has spent a minimum of three months as a seasonal worker in regional Australia to apply for a second working holiday visa.

The visa allows a stay of up to 12 months from the date of first entry to Australia, regardless of whether the holder spends the whole time in Australia. The visa holder must validate the visa (enter Australia) within a year of issue. The holder may enter and leave Australia as often as they wish within the validity of the visa. Time spent outisde of Australia is lost and cannot be re-claimed towards the one year validity period of the visa.[1]

The visa allows the holder to seek employment in Australia. Employment should be 'incidental' to travel and of a temporary or casual nature .

People working in Australia on a Working Holiday visa are entitled to the same pay and work conditions as Australian residents and citizens.

Answer 6

What is his nationality (is it American or does he just live there as an immigrant) and what does he want to do in Australia? Will he be here as a skilled worker, student etc?

He may be between the 17-30 which may allow him to apply for the Working Holiday Visa ( http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-... ). If he wants to study at uni he can apply for a student's visa or he can apply for a worker's visa.
