America just isnt doing it for me anymore. And I keep getting banned on the us forums from bible thumpers.

Anyone know what kind fo requirements I need to meet to get a visa down in aus?

i dont know about visa requirements,
but you will need a sense of humour :beer
Actually, it helps if you like beer...
Also, customs wont expect you to be a raving homicidal terrorist/rapest,
and fingerprint you when you step off the plane!

There are health and character requirements that you have to satisfy before a visa will be granted.

All the info is here..

Certain professions can give you instant Visas, Doctor, etc. The list of needed professions change all the time! Look into it!

The only other way in is to get in as an International student and pass your degree here (expensive, but less so than college in the USA) and then apply for PR/Citizenship once you're finished. I like to call this the long way.

There are actually a number of different ways that you can qualify for a visa to stay in Australia. Our immigration laws are relatively lax compared to most countries. There are hundreds of different classes of visas so look at the above Australian Immigration website and see which categories will work for you.

Worse comes to worse, come for a working holiday and then stay. Like greg said, plenty of places to hide here....


The kiwis have been doing it for years :D

I'll look into the website. I really do want a nice change of scenery and personality. I tend to get along with forieng people much better than people stateside. I felt more at home in japan than I didn here lol.

Come on over. The weather's fine. The beer is cold and the people are friendly. Oh and there is work here, if you want to work.

Tuck a widebody or two in your luggage.

If you have some kind of trade qualifications/experience, they will let you in no questions asked since they can't find locals to fill the jobs at the moment.
