Hi friends, please I'm considering moving to Australia with a 3month temporary work visa, I care to know if I can renew it after the 3 month while working there. I'm not a graduate, so I hope to do any available positive job or enroll in a disable care training. Please advice me, I'm completely naive on this matter.
Thank you!

It depends on various factors and no one can tell you how long it can take.
The experience though generally I'd say positive. Generally speaking of course.

I honestly think you can carry anything you want to (but not fresh foods) as long as you DECLARE them upon entry. You might get lucky and some things (if not all) will scale through . When you declare your stuff you avoid the fine incase you bring in prohibited items. Bad as e bad they will just confiscate some stuff.

As for me I plan to carry all carryables (dry foods only) and write my items to declare list from naija so I don't forget anything. I no get money for fine.

@Aussy4life,

Don't bring in beans. Quarantine are usually skeptical because of the weevil. You could be lucky to scale through but it is better not to bring all the way from Nigeria and lose it at the port of entry.

Don't bring liquid drugs except it is extremely needed for the journey. You can get those stuff here. You can bring paracetamol and the rest, they are all over the counter drugs.

Don't bring anything that contains the bark of a tree like herbs, quarantine will seize it. Aside from the above, you can bring anything.

I am not sure you will be allowed to bring palm oil, the guys at MMIA will collect it except you water ground.

Well, we declared all we brought in at the point of entry and the lady breezed us through.

I packed a lot ranging from iru to dried bitter leaf, cameroon spice, peppersoup spice, dry ogi, elubo, garri, groundnut,egusi, ogbono, grinded crayfish etc.....

U can as well pack and label appropriately and once it is declared, if they dont want it, they seize it but we were allowed through within 2 minutes as i wrote down all the food items i was carrying on a plain piece of paper.

The immigration laws and policies in the European countries are different from Australia. It is easier for illegal immigrants to survive easily in Europe moving from country to country but little difficult in Australia as it is an island.

Are there illegal immigrants in Australia? Yes there are. Most have local support base and usually the Asians who shipped themselves in. I cannot begin to list the pains and sufferings they go through.

I wouldn't advice anyone to travel to Australia without a legal permit to work. This is not the USA where you may find under the table jobs. Life will be more terrible for the person and would have preferred to remain in Nigeria. In the end, you will eventually be caught, sent to immigration detention centre before being deported.

My advice, if your visitor's visa is a no further stay condition, return home and restrategise. The only condition that can make you stay is if on arriving you develop a medical condition that the doctors assess that returning home may result in death. Aside that, I can't think of any other thing. Even if you do rush rush marriage with a citizen, you will still have to return home before you apply for spouse visa and that is another long thing.

Goodluck with whatever anyone on visitor's visa plans to do.
Sir pls,what of paying for a diploma course on arrival?

Australia isn't Europe or America you'll enter illegally and I'm sure that "working visa" is 100% fake. Run for your life mate
