Hi welcome to the forum

Have you had a skills assessment?

To be able to work as a plumber / gasfitter you will also need a licence to work in that field here.

I'm not sure how easy it will be for you to find an employer willing to sponser you without either of the above.

You really should talk to an agent, most will give you a free initial assessment and then at least you'll have some idea of what you need to do

thank you but first visa is looking for 3500,-euro . a lot i think
working on the licence for immigration at the moment any gess how long that will take?

You can't get the licence until you get here. You most likely mean the skills assessment?

They are taking 10 days to process, so from you sending it to getting it back you're talking about a month tops.

Make sure you put everything down for this assessment, you need to go really indepth with it or you won't pass. My hubby is a sparky so I can't help much on the plumbing side of things but there are some plumbers about on here if you get stuck. Just put another post up with any questions you have regarding the TRA bit.

thanks again ,
so you yhink i can get a sponsorvisa without having a employer to employ me before i move, i know i can work as a plumbers labour until my full licence is sorted i was readiing about it in the forum (was also a spark.)

Why on earth don't you sort out you own visa to migrate independently, if you qualify? Then you won't need to rely on any employer.
