Hi Everyone

Ive been living in melbourne now for about 9 months on a working holiday visa

had a few ups and downs as im sure we all do when you make the move over here. getting used to those little differences etc.

 

Im a solid plasterer by trade and one of the companies ive recently been sub contracting for has said if i find out the what the fees are and requirements they'd be happy to sponsor me so i can keep working for them.

 

the owner of the company has told me to come to the office next week for a discussion about it.

 

can anyone tell me what infomation i need to give him and what he needs to know and do.

 

also what its going to cost me and what its going to cost him.

 

any help would be appreciated

 

 

regards, Rob

First of all, you'll need to find out if your occupation is on this:

Take a look at page 3!

 

Then take a look here

I think the visa costs $3060.

 

When I approached my employers, I printed out copies of the fact sheets and presented along with a mini overview that detailed the various stages along with the total costs.

 

Bear in mind that your employers will also need to nominate a position. Details are in the Employers tab of the previous link.

I think many people pay for their own visa, with the company just paying for the "nomination" part. Note that the visa above is the permanent employer sponsored, which would be my preference too, but there is the cheaper temporary employer sponsored visa to consider as well.
