Courtneyjayfirman Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi, myself and my partner are looking to come to Australia on a years working holidays Visa but we have a 2 year old. When we went to apply it says you can’t have a child dependent on you. We are looking for advice on what visas we would need to come together for a year. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 There is an employer sponsored visa 482 that lets you work for 2 or 4 years, but you have to find an employer to sponsor you and it’s only available for certain occupations. No other options aorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 You definitely cannot get a WHV if you have a child. Your only other option is to acquire a visa under the skills list. What are your occupations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 You may be able to get a normal visitor visa for 12 months but of course you cannot work on this visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Okay thank you, I am a Hairdresser but my partner is a Mechanical Project Engineer. We are also struggling to get in contact with an agent to help. Does anyone have any advice on an agent?

Look at pinoyau.com.au My only comment would be that applying for a skilled visa is a long, complex and expensive business. Check out the application fees plus the agent's fees, and it's certainly not worth the cost if you only want to spend a year or two in Australia.
