which visa???
Hi All
Me , partner and 3 kids thinking of making the move over to Oz and have a question.
My partner is a Nurse (ward sister) with several years experience aged 41.
We are abit confused on which visa would be best / easiest to obtain.
We would be looking to make the move permanent and it's Perth / surrounding area we are looking at.
Thanks in advance.

Re: which visa???
If you are not in a rush, then why not look into the skille dmigrant visa 175 or 176. This will give you the security of PR from day one and you are not tied to a particular employer.
If you feel more in a rush then it should be fairly easy for a nurse to pick up employer sponsorship, it is possible to get permanent employer sponsored visa but the temporary kind seem to be more commonly on offer. I am not a nurse so don't know exactly how you go about this, but there are plenty of nurses around who I am sure can help.

With your wife's skills it sounds like you would have a few options. You could try and secure a sponsor for a 457 or ENS visa or apply independently. An independent visa allows you to live and work anywhere in Australia. If you are set on Perth then you could apply for a SC176 with state sponsorship from WA (once the SMP is released). I expect a SC176 would be finalised within 12 months.
Feel free to contact me if you need further information.

Re: which visa???
Thanks for the replies.
one more thing, we are getting married next June so should we wait till after this before we start thinking about which visa to go for?
Is there anything else we could be sorting if we are to wait after our wedding? i.e nurse registration...
cheers
