Do you have a father over there who you are in touch with?...that factor and the possibility that you have other close relatives there will prevent you from coming here.
Please do not try to come here illegally...remember what all the genuine people who have applied to come have gone through. You would find yourself on the boat back to Ireland in no time :frown: ...B.

One of the main reasons why i want to go.I will have absolutely no family left here.I come from a very small family.I have an uncle and his wife and sons but i have only ever met them a few times so once my mum leaves i will have no one.As i already said i know it will anger people but should i really stay in a country i hate and have a shit life because other people found it hard to get a visa?If there is a way i can get a visa then i will but you only get one life and i don't want to spend it in this shithole.

Oh my, they don't put you on the boat ...;) What happens is the immigration guys burst through your door at 3am when you're asleep and arrest you on the spot whilst you're in your pj's. Then after a short spell in a cell at the airport, or waiting in the lounge (if the cell's full) handcuffed to a friendly officer waiting for your flight, they chuck you onto Garuda airlines finest (nice and inexpensive). No chance to pack, no chance to change clothing. I saw it happen to a backpacker a few years ago. :D

Look...FFS...if you want to get a Visa...then do something about it ...do it properly.
You are just insulting the rest of us here who have worked hard to get our Visas ...and some are still in England waiting, and trying.

Selfish git.:mad:

If thats true about your family then you would qualify for a Remaining Relative Visa (Offshore) (Subclass 115)

This visa is for you if both of these apply:
you have a brother, sister, parent (or step-equivalent) who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen usually resident in Australia
you and your spouse have no brothers, sisters, children, parents (or step-equivalents) other than those in Australia.
