Default Any painting work in perth at the moment

Hi all just joined the other day love reading all the post, just wondering is there much painting work in perth at the moment ?,

I was painting in Ireland for 16 years and i got sick of the weather there, i'm over in thailand at the moment and would love to go to perth, i know work is slow every where now but worth a try,

Thanks all

If you're over 30 you don't qualify for a Working Holiday Visa and are basically stuffed. Don't even think about coming here on a Travel Visa and working.

Guess which he chose !! ;-)

I paid tax whilst I was working - I could have claimed some back as well as I only worked for about 6 months but did not want to push it!

When I filled out my PR application forms, I declared that I had worked illegally and had no comeback whatsoever. Easy peasy.

Why not try for a skilled visa?

Pretty unlikely to be sponsored by a painting company. Tradie work is drying up here, so if you qualify for a visa on your skills you would be best to apply for the visa first and find work once you get here.

First point woud be...Do you qualify for a visa? www.immi.gov.au
