Hi Guys,
I really want to move to Sydney to enjoy the weather and the surf but I don't have a degree! I only have a diploma which is one level lower than a degree.
This rules me out from the independent visa so I was thinking about another way although I'm not sure if it will work?
I plan on going to Sydney on a working holiday visa and interviewing with companies until I find one that will sponsor me.
I am a Software Developer / engineer (on the skills shortage list) with 3 years experience. I am 26 years old and a male in good health.
My question is, can an employer sponsor me for something like a 457 visa (I want to be in Sydney for at least 2 years) even though I don't have a degree. The skills shortage list says that my occupation requires a degree but I'm not sure if this matters if I can get sponsorship from within Australia?
Thanks for reading :-)
Andrew.
