jahcer80 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hello, We are a couple in our late twenties looking to emigrate to Australia, we are marrying this summer and would move as soon as possible (visa allowing!) We have no kids and no mortgage so we are footloose with plenty of savings. We are unsure of what to do to get the ball rolling with visas. Our occupations are Management accountant (on SOL) & primary school teacher. We would be looking to live over there indefinitely so looking at a decent length of visa. We have tried to make sense of the immigration website visas but think we need a sponsor for SOL job to apply for any of them so we need some advice on that. We also need advice on what visa to get for primary teacher. Furthermore are we ok to start applying as a non-married couple then continuing as a married couple? If you have any advice please reply, in the meantime, good luck if you are currently in the process and happy belated easter to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an occupation is on the SOL it means that sponsorship is not required and accountant is on the SOL, so no sponsorship is necessary. The accountant is the better applicant for that reason and also because just generally it is one of the easiest occupations to apply under in that there is a relatively straight forward skills assessment - assuming that the accountant is qualified anyway? If you are already a defacto couple, that is living together, it only needs one of you to apply for a visa and the other can go on that application. As I say, I recommend that the accountant is the main applicant and you apply for the 189 visa. Nest steps are: academic IELTS, skills assessment, expression of interest and visa application when invited to do so. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of you would need the work visa, as the other would could come on the visa as a partner. With regard to primary teaching, just remember that four years of university education is mandatory to be able to teach anywhere in Australia. We also have a huge over supply of primary teachers. It is better to be aware of that before you come and once here be prepared to put in the hard yards to get some relief teaching or if lucky, a contract.
