Jenjen Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi, I am literally a newbie to this. Im 27 from Uk and have been a registered nurse for 18 months. I wish to come over and work as nurse (for an undertmined amount of time). I also want to bring my partner over, he is 32, Britsh and a HGV driver. We don't live together at present but have been together for 6 years. What visa can I get so that both of us can come over together, and he can work too? How do I prove we've been together this long? Thanks! Jen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Hi Jen Nurses normally find it quite easy to migrate (I think you may need to make sure your qualifications are at degree level?). Have a look at www.border.gov.au for visa requirements. Your partner could in the worst case get a WHV (you can get these up to 35 now I think) and then live with you for a year, and then apply for a spouse visa. Which part of Australia were you thinking of moving to? Edited October 25, 2016 by buzzy--bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntersmummy Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 GDay Jen. Don't move to darwin! Start off in OZ somewhere else......darwin is hard core. We didn't have a choice but to move here but christ, I've sweated off 5 stone just because of the humidity. It's a damn hick town but I'm not right in the head so i fit in alright. Our immigration agent said it was easier because if your married because you live together and can prove that via bills, rental agreements, joint bank accounts etc. There are visa's he can have if your engaged to be married or married but just a relationship? I don't know. http://www.border.com.au and search the VISA FINDER and it'll bring up info on partner visa's. If it helps, we used John at Immigrations2Oz. Got our visa under a year.

Thanks! Jen x Is there a particular reason you do not live together? If there isn't, well then it doesn't matter how long you have been dating, it is of no relevance, you are not defacto and will not be able to lodge a joint visa aapplication. I would suggest putting it on hold, living together and accumulating proof of such. Oh or you could get married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Jen x Just double check stuff about Ahpra - you need that to be able to work (at least this was the case 2 years ago when we were prepping our move). It'll be on here. Diploma Nurses were getting a harder time getting Ahpra registered, but degree nurses could get that sorted easy. My wife's a nurse here Not sure about the rest of it. Call an agent, just for a preliminary chat, they should be able to answer some for free just to give you a rough idea what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'piggy backed' on my hubby's visa as we weren't married at the time of applying. You have to prove De Facto, so this will be hard if your not living together.
