Does anyone know how one can get their visa? say a 2yr visa or something?

And may i add that he doesn't have so much money to spend oo

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Here is a good place to start for Australia

Make sure that you stress to them the importance of filling out the forms correctly as people who incorrectly fill out forms get deported.

It should be easy enough to get a study or visitors permit but getting a workers permit is much more difficult

A 6 month visitor visa (you cannot work at all with one of these) cost AUD$70 (N70000)

hunter,
Thanks for the response. I would like to know if you could give more insight on how someon can find his/her way there.
you can send your response to my email : lexfrosty@yahoo.com
make we yarn ok

it would be better if we did it here so more people can read it.

As for finding your way here, emirates offer the cheapest flights as far as I know.

Fill out forms with complete honesty and you should be able to come, you also need to be vacinaated against a few diseases. If you follow the prompt to apply for a visitors visa it should give you the information about what you need medically.

What specific questions do you need answered also.
