VERYSTORMY Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 There are things such as business visas, but they have a lot of conditions you have to meet and require a large amount of investment. It would be worth speaking to a good registered migration agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Have you included any points for English and possible state sponsorship? Are your jobs on the SOL or CSOL? if you post your points here then maybe there could be options you have not considered. Business skills visas require you to have been running a business for a few years before applying and have a high turnover etc. but worth looking at if only to rule them out.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks. From what you have posted it seems possible that you might qualify for skilled migration to South Australia. May I suggest that you consult a registered migration agent for advice about possible visa strategies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy5 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thank you everyone for all your advice, although massage therapist is on the list, there is no state sponsoring that profession at the moment, I will enquire about the business visa option tho, any other ideas will be greatly appreciated, many thanks to all who replied.

VERYSTORMY Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Wrussel above is indicating state sponsorship might be an option. I would contact him. He is a highly regarded agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
