Hi Andy,

When you find a company to sponsor you, you can apply for Temporary Business (Long Stay) - Standard Business Sponsorship (Subclass 457) . Then once you get that visa you can apply for a Permanent Visa (if you fit the criteria).

No you can't pay to become a migrant - they are more interested in your skills.

Hope you find something suitable,

Hi Andy,
Wanted to PM you, but don't see the function here? (Maybe they don't have)
Would like to get in touch as I'm a fellow IT professional considering Australia, without a cooking clue where to start.
Currently an expat in Asia (no, I'm western) and curious how to find out how one can check yourself for this points system you mentioned. Myself nearly a decade in IT, but no degree...are the points relying heavily on IT degrees?
