Exclamation New to site, Hi everyone

Hello all,

I m new to the site, and will be needing info for the next few years,

I m 24 years old, live in Gloucester, UK. I did live in Thailand working for 2

years as a PADI scuba instructor. Loved the Climate
not the pay though

At the moment I'm a HGV mechanic Doing the college and trying to get the papers,

And the 4 yrs Experince so i ll be able to Fly over to Oz and Stay there.

There is so much i will be asking, all advice given is taken,

The first Q though, How should i go about migrating? i know i need the papers for HGV, But dont have a relative over there,

Should i get my papers in a few yrs, then travel there on a 12 month working holiday, maybe find a job and a sponsor?

Thanks All.

Hello again Absenthe, already welcomed you on another thread, but having just read yours my advice would be to talk to an agent. Many of them offer a free 1st chat and they are clued up on what the best way forward for your circumstances would be. There are many agents on this site that come highly recommended by the people that have used them, you could do a search or you could post on the immigration forum with a few questions and I'm sure you would get advice on what your next step should be. Anyways, good luck with whatever you decide.
