There has got to be a way!!
Hi there
My partner and I went to Australia on a working holiday visa for a year and returned to the UK In August. We have struggled to settle and our lives are in limbo at the moment - we would really love to return to Australia on a more permenant basis but we do not have the skills for emmigration. New Zealand is another option as we have relatives there - but again it looks kind of hard!
We are searching for any options that are open to us and if anyone out there knows of anyway we could return please please let us know. My partner is now the wrong side of 30 for working hol visas and we would like to go somewhere settle rather than backpak. If we could just get back for a couple of years..........
Cheers!

Message for R Bartlett
The small business thing - can you provide more info please?
Have you done this?
Just wondering which visa goes with this.
Might not have the cash but worth a look!

We spoke with an immigration agency who gave us another option on how to get in.
You can go on a temporary 4 year visa (don't let the word 'temporary' scare you).
You would have to either start up your own business or search for a job whilst you are out there. You have to earn 75,000 Aus dollars in a year (approx £28,900). If you achieve this you then qualify to stay perminantely.
Hope this helps

Re: There has got to be a way!!
Another option is to do a uni course! You can stay for as long as the course takes to complete. It has to be full time tho'. If the degree is 4 yrs long, you can stay for 4 yrs!
The courses are pricey tho'.......

My aunt is going over on one of these visas, they are ok. BUT you have to employ 4 australians within 4 years and I'm sure she told me you cannot get a mortgage and can only buy outright on a property, because you only get a temporary visa and not a pr,and should the business fail then she has got to come home, shes ok. she has money behind her but it is a risk, you may want to have a chat with an agent who will be able to give you better advice, there are some good ones on this forum. It is also a one off visa, she has a time limit to get out there and if she doesn't get the business up and running within the four years then no further visas are isssued. However is she does O.K. then she gets a PR. THINGS IN LIFE WORTH HAVING ARE NEVER EASY!!!

Thanks everyone
Cheers for the info. Will check out the business thing...not sure if we have the cash for it...who am i kidding...know we haven't! But you never know!
Golden Girl - you mentioned that you can get a temp visa for 4 years and go and look for a job. If you have any further info on this would be appreciated too. Will go off and search the Aus Immig website though too.
