People asking to visit Australia boku. The law is tight. That's why the country is still standing. Unlike Europe, you can't just get in plus the distance sef and it being a continent on its own. It's not Europe that one person would jump from Germany to Sweden to Paris e.t.c. It is not a here something o shocked

Lol! So you're implying that countries allowing more immigrants weakens the country?

Hmmmm..... undecided

So I hope I don't get insulted for this question oo. lol. So just off the top of my head, was wondering if a person had an Australian Permanent Resident Visa and is already residing there but decide to have their baby in the US, do they need to apply for a PR visa for this child before bringing he or she back to Australia to leave with the family? cc Bellong

Thank you Sir!

Now why would that person leave Oz to go birth in the USA?! (Off the top of my head too smiley )

'That person' sure would need a visa to get the baby to enter Oz- probably spend a few months waiting too.

Hahahaa...A person might want to do that for several reasons known to them.

But hey, thanks a lot! I appreciate.

Good day all.
Sorry to digress,my intended skill which happens to be under 190 and 489 visa subclass.....the only state offering my skill is western Australia and they require at least 3 years work experience meanwhile all these while I have been hoping to come in next year because vetassess requires at least one year work experience for that skill.
I have already declined some job offers I had which might run into next year before finding this out and I really need to somehow be in Australia next year so now it's a dilemma for me.
So now brethren the question is...is there a way round this work experience requirements,
If there is not then is there a way I can use a menial skill like a painter to get visa and then swap in the country without a qualification or certificate of painting ,of course I also paint but not on professional level and don't have any qualification.

If there is not then someone suggested if I was married I could have my wife apply and then add myself to her visa(whatever that could mean)....sadly I'm not married but is there a way I can find a single lady immigrant and enter as her husband(please don't laff,I'm serious here)
My points are all okay from speculations
Age:30
Pte:20(speculation)
Qualification:I learnt that's 15 (because I did a 6 years course)
So I don't really need the work experience points.
Please suggestions are desperately needed.

My Contribution:
There's nothing wrong with using an agent.
The stress is using the right agent.
We use agents for different reasons, the common being lack of time and information.
A qualified Migration Agent would obviously make the entire process fast and easy for you.
While he does your job and leaves you free time to do other more pressing stuff, you pay for his own time or services.
Using an agent is in NO way a sign of laziness or unintelligence.
In fact, it shows that you like yourself, you don't like stress, you're busy and can afford the cost.
You also are indirectly solving the problem of unemployment.

People use agents or similar to get admission into NIGERIAN universities, to find a house to rent, to buy a land, to build a house, to sell a house, to plan their wedding, to buy a car, to manage their business, etc........
Let's not make a big deal out of this MIGRATION AGENT thingy....
When I got my scholarship, my sponsor made all visa and flight/travel arrangements via an AGENT.
Please call me LAZY.
While looking for cheap flight to OZ, I did contact a ticketing agent but didn't use them coz of cost.
But yeah, MOST of us finally had IOM do it for us grin I'd think they're something similar to AGENTS.

Bottom line, those that can afford it don't bother stressing.
My boss gets all he wants by just picking the phone and dial.
Most companies have agents doing all travel stuff for them.
My former employer in Nigeria uses VFS to get easy and fast visa processing for employees going overseas for training.
We also had agents taking care of passports and flights for same day services.
All we do is walk in and walk out.
What about accommodation and pickups? Just land and call a number, BINGO you're in your room. NO Stress.
Trust me I enjoyed it while it lasts

AGENTS are there to make life easy for you if you don't mind the exorbitant cost.
They're meant to be well-informed in their area of specialisation.
Say for VISA, they know all the rules and requirements. They keep themselves informed and updated on migration matters.
Similar to what lawyers do.

On this forum, we can only offer as much as we've researched; which for most of us is only limited to what we found while processing our application. Not many research outside their interest. So, we can't answer all your questions to help you DIY. You'd need to do your own research. And if you can't or don't have the time, then, by all means, get the services of an AGENT.
It's left to you to do your DUE DILIGENCE in choosing the right AGENT.

TRUMP does not KNOW everything and possibly ANYTHING about some of the things he champions and enjoys...
Same is clear of BUHARI...
But regardless, we can't completely say they're lazy and unintelligent to become PRESIDENTS!!!

Shout out to y'all.
Keep the love flying.

You are very right. Spot on!

Even the DIBP recognizes the need for migration agents and has even made provisions for this in their entire process flow. It's just that the fraudulent agents in Nigeria are too many and there's hardly a way to pick the good ones out unlike AUS where they have MARA registeration. It is well
