My advice is you give the ongoing recruitment process your best shot. I know it normally last up to 12mnths, but be patient enough to see how it turn out before coming to Australia. Getting a graduate job in Australia or any other jobs depends on your experience. For graduate jobs, your experience in a multinational firms can be of great value and for casual jobs, local experience here in Australia rules. If at all you don't have graduate experience and you are DESPERATE to have one, what I'll advice is you approach a firm or recruitment agency in Australia stating your willingness to learn and work even without PAY, Yeah, without pay. If they can cover your insurance, good for you. You can combine the job with another casual jobs so you can be able to pay off your bills. Who knows, the company may decide to start paying you later. But the experience is what you will need to apply for permanent residence. ArtistA: |

malkinburg: The experience is worth it. KLIA is a beautiful airport...far better than Goldcoast and Brisbane airport. My flight to Ethiopia from Lagos was delayed by 1hr. Though it didn't affect my next flight to KLIA; it only reduced my waiting time at the airport from 3hrs to 2hrs. Upon arrival at KLIA, I went straight to the immigration office and gave them my passport, the man requested for my connecting flight ticket to Australia and my Australia visa which I showed him before he cleared me. I went straight to KLIA2 from there to check in with Airasia. I checked in at Airasia with no hassle. Airasia service was ok, only that everyone's ticket comes with the meal he/she chose when booking the flight. There were people who were not served because they didn't include it on their ticket. I left Nigeria 2:05pm Thursday and got to Australia 7:25am Saturday; no delay at the end 4 Likes |

@cherries1, The answer to your question is Skye bank Mastercard. Concerning the posibility of changing NAIRA TO AUD at Sydney airport, I don't know and I haven't heard of anyone that did so. You can try it, anyway. |
Travel / Re: General Australian Visa Enquiries by Zenkel(m): 7:00am On Oct 03, 2014 |
equlibrium: I understand you but I'm recommending Firstbank and GTB bank mastercard and Zenith too( BUT NOT WITH ANY HOW BANK MASTERCARD, I HAD A FRIEND THAT CAME WITH S********BANK CARD AND IT DIDNT WORK HERE) if you want to withdraw your money from Nigeria bank here because those bank's mastercard works perfectly well here. I don't have GTB acct anyway; I used Firstbank mastercard to withdraw all my money and deposited it into Commonwealth bank..and the ATM charge was just $2o3 per withdrawal. Changing USD to AUD here doesn't make sense...I was charged arnd AUD12 for one fee like that at the airport and the exchange rate is ridiculous. |

iriferi: @house how much do I have to hold in cash when travelling? Maximum cash to hold... If I were you, I will hold like USD300 cash when leaving Nigeria and come here with my functional Firstbank or GTB Mastercard. It's cheaper that way--withdrawing with your mastercard here--than changing the USD to AUD. |

juliana13139: the only time you get to be questioned that way is when you actually enter the country and then continue your journey.....EG instead of just making a transit you actually visit malaysia for a few days then move on the Australia...thats when they begin to question you...the truth is most of the airlines from naija except etihad will usually take you through thailand if your using egypt air, then etiopian air will tke you through singapore......the list goes on and on.even qatar...guess the buttom line is what you can afford esp if your bringing your family along you get to save enough.....plus it reduces the very long 13hrs of seating.As long you meets the entry point requirements...... genuine visa to d the 3rd country, genuine transit visa issued by their embassy in your home country, yellow card(not 2005/2006 card), onward ticket to the 3rd country, you are good to go. Immigratn clearance is not a big deal if your documents are complete. The rule is that: If you are transiting with the same airline, no immigration clearance is required. Many of the Asians(Indians, China, etc) in Aussie uses this route and I've gone through their forum too. Indian, China, Sri-lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan passport holders are free to arrival without transit visa, such is called transit pass. One more thing, Airasia are well known for connecting flight to the third country of destination which must be any of the following: Australia, New Zealand, U.S.A, China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. |

Well, not everybody is as rich as you are. Beside, saving $700-900 is economically wise. It's obvious you haven't tried booking a flight to Sydney and see the number of transit before you get to Sydney, and you have not visited AirAsia to see their routes...

All the information about transit visa, I got it on the Malaysia immigratn site. Also, airasia site has comprehensive info on it too. Some countries like India do not require transit visa prior to their arrival at Malaysia, such thing is called transit pass. Nigerai falls among the countries that requires 100% transit visa or any other visa prior to arrival at Malaysia. Morealso, Airasia made it possible that you can check-in online (except baggages) prior to arrival. For more info, this link might be useful yqtravelling.com/2013/01/13/how-to-beat-airasias-bst-extra-charges/ Is anyone still doubting? I can willingly help you get over your doubts |

bossladyMo: Yes, it sounds very unreal but it's very real. Sometime ago, before the attack on nairaland, lawland or someone gave a hint on flying with airasia and tiger airways, so I made research on it and was able to succeed. This is what I did: I searched for a nice flight combination between Ethiopia airline and airasia and booked a flight to KLIA(Kualar lumpur) from Lagos at N107.8k, and a connecting flight(airasia) to Australia(Goldcoast) at $276 (N45.3k). I applied and obtain a transit visa at Malaysia embassy at Abuja after 2 working days( normal visa processing time is a week i.e 6 workinh days.) Below are what I submitted at the Malaysia embassy: 1. Form 47(Malaysia visa form) 2.My Australia student visa 3. Original and photocopy if International passport 4.Yellow card 5. My Ethiopia e-ticket and my AirAsia e-ticket.( My arrival to KLIA and departure had 4hrs interval) 6. N1k visa fee. Now below are what I found about transiting via Thailand, Singapore, or Malaysia. 1.Most AirAsia flight from any other country do have stop over at KLIA, making it less cheaper. So, I booked a flight to KLIA directly instead of transiting via Thailand or Singapore. 2. Malaysia Transit visa allows you to stay a maximum of 120hrs at the KLIA; you are not permitted to leave the airport. 3. AirAsia used to have promo and during such promo you can get a flight to Australia less than $200; I booked my flight just two days after the promo had expired. |

equlibrium: Bro. I don't know the complexity of your own application. I've already told you that financial statements(which includes anything that has to do with finance or evidence of funds) is not among the supporting documents for svp application. I don't know what else you want to hear/know. I will advice you to download the form 157 and go through it very well. SVP and Assessment level 1 dznt require you to provide evidence of funds. You are only required to declare you have sufficient fund to take care of your stay in OZ by checking the d small box. 1 Like |

nicholls2013: hello house, please can anyone help me with cheap tuition universities or TAFE programme for HSE courses and does a person have to pay full tuition before Visa can be granted and what are the documents required to apply for a visa. Thanks To find cheap tuition University and TAFE program, you'll to do it yourself by visiting the Australia schools websites and compare their tuition fees for your program. U may not be required to pay full tuition fee before your visa can be granted. Some schools demands you accepts your admission offer by making a deposit tuition fee payment, without paying such you can't get your eCoE(electronic confirmation of Enrolment) which is among the documents you have to provide when applying for your visa.

chookudi: you mean accomodation wise i guess...I would have loved to help out but i am staying with a relation who is married with kids and do not want to "pass my boundary" by looking to bring someone else in. I can however try to get contact info for shared apartments at least for you to stay for a while and then u can be on the lookout for another if you dont like it. Meanwhile you can also browse, google and check up on accomodation close to where you are going to in sydney. You can check for backpackers accomodation. I think its relatively cheaper than other forms of accommodation. Thanks for your concern. |

Haustraliah: YES, without making a tuition fee deposit you won't be granted your CoE (confirmation of enrolment), and you can never get your student visa without your CoE. |
