Jack law Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 About 10 years ago I decided to travel to Australia on the hope of tracking down my farther. With only his name I decided to start looking in Sydney. Fortunately it only took me two week to find out he was living in Brisbane. we spoke on the phone and he agreed to pick me up at the airport. We got on really well and I ended up spending most of the year with him. I found work and really started to enjoy my stay. Ever since I returned to the UK he has asked me to apply for citizenship so I can stay out there with him but unfortunately he wasn’t an Australian citizen at the time of my birth. Can anyone help me to understand the options and routes I should take for emigrating to Australia to be closer to my farther. thanks jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure your father being there makes no difference as you’re not dependant on him. I assume you’ve looked at skilled visas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack law Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, A skilled visa would be an option. Im hoping for something permanent. I see a lot of sites on the web showing solicitors that can help, would that be the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several who regularly post on here who are highly regarded. They will tell you whether you stand a chance of getting a visa. By the way, a skilled visa is a permanent visa but they are not that easy to get although it depends on your profession of course. Best of luck.

Jack law Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ok thank you, I’m a builder/carpenter by trade I run a small business with a friend at the moment. I will look up these migrant agents and see what’s what although I’m a bit confused as to how I will find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are employer-sponsored visas, which are only temporary, but that's a different thing. As others have said, what you need is a migration agent. Try Suncoast Migration or Go Matilda.
