WHV to Permanent Visa.....

[MattD]

Hello all,

 

Just been wondering about the likelihood of being able to head over to Oz on a WHV and whether I would be able to obtain a permanent visa when it runs out?

 

Im 26, and wont be in a position to head over to Oz for a couple of years yet so just looking at getting some further info at this stage.

 

I would love to take the opportunity of doing a WHV while I can, but it is my long term goal to move permanently!

 

Your thoughts/experiences would be most welcome!

 

Thanks

Matt

You would need to have a job that is in the skills list to gain PR. The only other option would be to find a sponsorship for a 457 visa but again that is a temporary visa. I am sure someone else will reply with more information.

Totally depends on whether you have anything to offer the employment market over here - would help to know what (if anything) you are qualified in and what's your job?
