Hi JazzaJim,

 

Welcome to Poms In Oz.

 

So you have a confirmed job, but do you have a visa please?

If not, then you will have to obtain a visa first.

afraid no idea of which visa to apply for ,and how to go about getting it ,where do i start ????and does it matter that i dont really want to emigrate ,to be honest ,i would like to work there for maybe 3 years and then just come home,is this possible,considering i will be working in the mines in the middle of nowhere for 4 weeks at a time ,,,i wouldnt expect to bring my wife out and then leave her in a strange city herself,

Hi and welcome to the forum, no matter how long you want to stay for if you are working you need a visa. It may be worth having a chat with an agent.
