Get me back to australia?

Ok so thanks for reading! i have asked this question before but for some reason yahoo has crashed on me and wont let me go through my previous questions. So okay here's the thing i moved to Australia at the end of 2005 because my dad got a job there, all our visas were 457's. I was lucky as i was 17 so i was able to pick up a 4 year visa as i was under the age of 18. The years went on and i never even took one thought to my visa, my new life had me pretty much distracted, anyway the time came to leave, i had no idea there were heaps of things i could have done to stay in the country, the fact i enrolled in high school was a bonus. But i was too busy enjoying myself than being serious, my dad even forgot, in the end it was just me and him as my mum missed her family too much. Im starting to feel really miss it and i dying to move back over there. My dad is going to see if there's anything he can do but not likely with a 457. I know i can get a work visa, and i know i can go to college and get qualifications and use them to move over too but is there any other way if i lived there before and went to school there?Get me back to australia?
The fact that you've lived in Australia before and went to school here won't make any difference. You're now back to square one and have to qualify for a visa in exactly the same way as anyone else.



Your only options now are:



鈥?a 12 month Working Holiday visa which can be extended to 24 months if you do 88 days of rural type work in a regional area during the first 12 months. At the end of your WHV though, you will have to leave the country unless you are eligible for a different visa.

鈥?study in Australia on a Student visa for qualifications in an occupation that is eligible for a work visa but that will probably be more expensive than doing the same course in your own country. After you qualify, you will have to find employer sponsorship for a work visa or you will have to leave the country.

鈥?study in your own country for qualifications in an eligible occupation; get at least a couple of years work experience and then find sponsorship for a 457 visa. You will need at least 3 years and probably 5 years experience for any visa other than a 457.



鈥?marry an AussieGet me back to australia?
Oh dear.

Maybe a working holiday?

Then a second.

And see if you can find a partner while you're on them.

Other than that I'm sorry for your loss.Get me back to australia?
Well, you could always marry me... ok, maybe not, just a thought...



The skilled migration option is probably the clearest way you have. Think of it in terms of what you want to do for a career. I've just taken a look at the "skilled occupation list" that they have on the migration website, the options are pretty diverse. Without knowing a whole lot about this, perhaps a good way to start would be to do some research into lining up a job opportunity in Australia - once you have a work-related reason to be there, then hopefully everything will fall into place.



It looks like the only other ways in are:

Business Migration - if you happen to be a successful executive wanting to expand a business

Family and partner migration - well... I AM single... but I don't think I want to inflict myself upon anyone that I like...

Retirement Migration - Waiting until you're 55... that's a long wait, in your case...



So finding a job situated in Australia looks like the way to go. Best of luck.
I doubt it they are very strict on immigration.My son was married to an Australian they had a daughter he was working and they had been living in Sydney for several years,he was stopped for a minor traffic offence the found minor discrepancies in his visa and paperwork they immediately took him to Villa Wood where he was deported despite having to leave his family behind and had to fight for a year to re enter.So there is not short cut through Australian immigration
