tostar Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi all. Was wondering if a return flight needs to be booked if coming on a tourist visa (subclass 600) with the intentiom to find sponsored work, then change visas. Any input would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If my watching of border security/nothing to declare (TV show) is anything to go by you cant enter on a tourist visa to look for work, if they suspect that when you land you wont get back immigration. So return flight and no work documents on you... cv etc.. when you enter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I was told its possible to voluntarily withdraw a tourist visa application if an employment opportunity did arise You can if you happened to be offered work while on holiday. If they suspect you are coming to look for work, not a holiday, that's not allowed. You would be turned away at the airport and get a three year ban. So I would imagine it would be far more convincing if you had a return ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Don't bring anything in your luggage to let it look like you are coming for more than a holiday. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
