RobAmielia Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hello, I desperately need some help and advice from people probably more in the know than I am. I have held a few discussions with 'Massimo' from global visa's. He tells me that for £1300 I can gain a work permit for Australia and there will be the option with a 2nd year. Even though I have no skills he will set me up interviews until I have gained a job and can go to Australia. Interviews for regular jobs such as a supermarket worker or a postman. This all seems to good to be true. I am 31 and have a 6 year old daughter who is Australian and lives there and so far over the years I have been told that my only way into Australia is either the 15 year waiting list or paying $42,000 neither of which are viable. So for someone to suddenly tell me that I can get over there on a work permit with no skills seems strange. Does anyone have any experience with these people or just have any general advice? He is due to call me back on Friday so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That sounds almost like a WHV where you gain a second year if you do the regional work. You may be too old for that though. TBH I'd go do some careful research on the company and put their name into Google and make sure you read the first page or two of reviews. Based on feedback on this forum I'd be inclined to contact other agents like Go Matilda. Or get a WHV on your own and not pay that much money for it (if still eligible but I think not).

Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 This is the WHV blurb and if you are 31 then you are too old to apply http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There is no such thing as a work permit for Australia. From this 2nd option thing he says sounds like a WHV which you are too old for anyway. Do a simple google review search of this agent and will find the information you need. When choosing a migration agent you should make sure that they are MARA registered, this agent does not have MARA agents outside Australia. I just hope you have not parted with any money. Yes too good to be true, if you have no skills your only options are re-training or student visa. You speak about a 15 year wait, therefore are you eligible for Last Remaining Relative. You need to take advice from a MARA registered agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sounds more like a WHV visa to me, which i believe the Oz government raised the age on not so long ago and you could get yourself for a fraction of the quoted cost!! Once here on that visa you can do whatever job you want as long as you interview well for it. Regional work for 88 days will get you a 2nd year visa Stay clear of these robbers i would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will be $40,000 each for you and your wife. You need advice from a RMA - try Go Matilda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Unfortunately thre are some organisations that try to sell dreams. A golden rule to live by: never pay anyone that says they will find you a job. You have spoken to an unscrupulous that wants £1300 out of you to get a working holiday visa, something that anyone up to age 30 can organise for a fraction of this and you don't qualify anyway.

adsmich Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 do not use global visas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebloggs Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 WHV is about £240 and takes about 10 mins to apply for, £1300 they are having a laugh but since you are 31 you don't qualify. Without skills what would be your option at the end of the holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussietobe Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Please be careful, we used Global visas as they promised us we could have our remaining relative visa in 6-9months, and well 18months down the line we are still waiting and to top it all off we had to pay them their fees before they would submit our application.

noworriesmate Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi - we don't allow naming and shaming on this site however I would invite you to read the last post in a previous thread on this company which can be found here http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/48177-heard-global-visas.html The post is by the owner of this forum and should be helpful. I am going to close this thread now to prevent further comments on the company. NWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
