I am planning to go and tour Australia for 12 months next year on a tourist/visit visa. I want to travel around and working also. I am a qualified Electrician, would I find enough work? am i permitted to work under tourist/visit visa or what is the method? Also what is the average cost of living?i am 30 now planning to go on a tourist visa and find a job, and start working and apply for the required visa? can this happen....
No, you need to apply for a working visa at the Australian consulate/embassy. If you are caught working without a visa they will deport you.
it only took me an hour, at the consulate, dont know if being a british citz was the reason http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20060722073842AA9osjH&kid=QsUmXDW.A2VdW8TrpJ.4r5BgvCL6TZbFp4YyeuBJkCJ6Dv6iD.un&s=comm&date=2006-07-23+07%3A03%3A37&.crumb=
Usually you need to be "sponsored" by someone who you're going to be working for; otherwise, if you go over there with no job, how do they keep track of you; I think since 9/11 things have become more strict in regards to work visas http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20060722073842AA9osjH&kid=NbUvWDK.UzarktSAwg35&s=comm&date=2006-07-24+16%3A08%3A26&.crumb=
Contact the Australian consulate for that info.
