some advice please
Hi, im new to the forum but have been lurking for a while, now before i start any info would be much appreciated. Here goes, im a newly qualified nurse from scotland looking to explore oz, my boyfriend works for royal mail, has no qualifications, was born in south africa, and is a south african citizen although he has been here (scotland) over 20 years but hasnt got british citizenship, so how would we go about getting him to oz, i have been told that he would be best going on a WHV, but what would happen if we wanted to stay longer as that would only entitle him to stay for a year? Also is it possible for newly qualified nurses to get a job in oz, or do i need to have some here first? Thanks in advance

If you look here:
http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/work...sa-options.htm
You'll see that South Africa is not listed under either of the working holiday options - so it could be that Australia doesn't have an agreement with SA for working holidaymakers.
If you are able to get a visa then it is possible that your boyfriend can be included on your application, depending on the nature of your relationship & the evidence you can provide.
