La Belleza Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Im wanting to do a working visa in Australia and to me Brisbane looks like the best place to live and work. What do you think? And i wanted to go self employed, can i do that on a work visa or do i have to work for someone over there? Does anyone have any good/bad experiences?

SiSiSi Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Brisbane is a fantastic place. You can apply for a skills visa if you are under 45. Also check the Australian High Commision website for the Critical Skills List. This is list of occupations in which there is a labour shortage.

Janet Olsen Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I live just outside Brisbane & its a lovely place to live. The city centre is modern & busy. Plenty of night life if required. Many many places near by to visit if you are looking for beaches etc: Theme parks & of course only just over an hour drive to the gold coast & similar distance to the lovely sunshine coast. I have been in just about all major cities in Australia & Brisbane is one of the best. Really is a lovely place to live.

stimpy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 as above. Look into the visa before you even think about where you want to go. http://www.immi.gov.au will give you all the info you need. Its very hard to get a visa at the moment. I have had real problems getting a spouse visa for the missus as they changed the requirements the month we went for it. If you do apply ensure you have ALL the information required as you dont get a refund if they dont approve it! We are having to spend $2500 for her visa and if we dont have everything the request, we lose that money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridayfeelin Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Brisbane is a tropical climate, if that's what your after you'll like the heat, however, it has been said it is a very old fashioned place catering more for the tastes of older people.

Its a bit selfish of you John wanting to stop other people having the great life we banana benders have here there is plenty of Qld to go around.
