Hi all, Does anyone know if you can enter Australia on a tourist Visa while your visa is being processed? I did my EOI for 190 visa NSW as Secondary School Teacher 4 weeks ago and haven’t got an invite (65 points). I’m now thinking i need to do the English Exam again and get full marks. I would like to go March next year and would go on a tourist visa if PR is not granted but, not sure if this would be acceptable?? Thanks

I did my first year teaching in Australia... i got lots of teaching work but, that was in 2009. I'm going back to teach there, this year☺ Sometimes you just have to take risks & trust! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It's great to read all feedback. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. Collie & Earl. It's been really helpful. Very interesting!! I'm going to apply for the teaching postions & see what happens ☺ Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Yes, i agree life is too short & i try to follow my heart. I guess time will tell. I'm doing my PTE exam tomorrow for my visa so, i'll see how that goes. It's Great to have options but, can be tricky/confusing sometimes. I'm 34 soon so i'm not sure i want to keep jumping from country to country however, Dubai is very appealing!!! Thanks for your feedback & yes, i love the sun. One of the big reasons i'm making the move. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks saz71 & everyone. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Yes, i would be travelling alone to both places but i have good friends in Melbourne. However, i don't want to rely on people. No friends in Dubai but, i thought it would be ok as i believe there is a large ex pat community and its that little bit closer to home. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thank- you all for your responses. I appreciate it. When you get a teaching job in Dubai apparently the school helps you orgainise visa's, provides you with an appartment etc... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle and would love to hear from.anyone who has visited or better still worked in these two places. I'm unsure whether to relocate to Australia or Dubai! I have started the visa process for PR to Aus and i got a positive skills assessment but, there has been alot of jobs advertised for teaching posts in the UAE this week and its very appealing with tax free salary etc.. The fact is i would be going to Australia with no job and thats quite daunting. I'm an art teacher. However, i have lots of friends in Australia & i have lived there before for 2 years but that was in 2009. Any info. Or advice would be appreciated. I know i'm tge only one who can make the decision but, its nice to get feedback. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It's worth a try☺ Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hey James, congratulations. Did you use an agent? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks ☺ Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks B. Yes i think i will do it myself☺ Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

This forum is great. My agent recieved e-mail to say my skills assessment is positive. I was thinking i might do the rest myself and save £1700. Does anyone reccommend this or is it easier to go with an agent? Undecided. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I have been debating which to choose. PTE or IELTS. Thanks for posting great advice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
