Another way would be to get an Aussie employer to sponsor you. It only costs them about $235 and only 1 form to fill in, search for the onshore 'Employer Nomination Scheme' on the DIMIA website.
Good luck.
Good luck.

So in theory you could go to Oz on a work permit, get a job and if the employer will, apply for employer sponsorship whilst there?
Does the job have to be on the skills list?
Cheers

Dagboy is currently on 457 employee sponsored, applying for spouse visa (I think he will be issued the temp spouse visa? because its just short of 5 years?), does he have to be offshore when its issued or is that only for the permanent one?
Is there a condition somewhere that says he cant leave the country for a certain amount of time once hes got either the temp or the spouse visa? Ive seen people mention not being able to leave but Im not sure what visa they are referring to- very confused about it!

Re: can you apply for permenant visa while on temp
As a rule the requirement to be outside Australia when a visa is granted only applies to what are called offshore visas (such as a general skilled visa).
If the spouse visa application was lodged onshore Dagboy can remain in Australia throughout the visa application process, through to visa grant.
Best regards.
