Need some info, if anyone can help...

[Nightfaller]

Hey people,

Ok, I am currently a student studying a degree in Business Management and i also have a foundation degree in Business Information systems. I wish to move to Australia as soon as i finish my degree but i am not to sure what to do next...

Would love some help, because i am sure it cant be as simple as saying "bye bye england", jumping on a plane and then landing in Australia. Can it? I have tried looking for some Australian job expo's in the UK but i am not finding any, they would be helpful because that would help me possibly gain a graduate job with sponsorship to move to Australia, if i am correct.

Any information would be helpful, or links to websites which also help.

Thanx in advance, Marcus

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the forum.

There are also some sticky posts at the top of this forum that have website links to the visas ("PLEASE READ..." post) and that will also give you an idea of what is required.

Regards,
Karen

Hi Marcus

Not sure whether your profession would pertain to this:- 2299-79 Business and Information Professionals nec

I presume you've done the points test? Skilled Migration to Australia - Online Points Test

If you're under 45 and have a professional qualification, meet the points test, you shouldn't find it too difficult to get a visa. That said, getting sponsorship can be tricky. I'm no expert but had you thought about being state sponsored?

Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176)

And yet again, my mantra is get professional guidance. Usually, most agents don't charge for their first consultation. Some people end up doing the process on their own (if their application is straightforward) but some advice to get you started I think is the best way to go.
