Sorry, what I should have said is if he is coming over on HIS skill (welder) then he will have to go through the TRA process. Or like yourself he can come over on his wifes visa.

Re: moving to perth as a welder

Hi

My OH welding tickets are due to run out before we make the move does he have to renew them here before he starts work there,he has all the stuff previously mentioned fcaw, smaw, tig etc (sorry if they are not 100% just relaying the message from him) can someone advice if he will need cards/tickets to get work or whether its best to renew out there

Thanks

Not much help I'm afraid

Any other information I can help with just yell and I (sorry OH) will try and help out.
