Hi there all fellow LYN-ers!

I'm planning to head to Australia to work, as the wage there is around AUD9-15 per hour for casual workers...though I realize working as casual labour over there will not build me an impressive resume, but I've made up my mind that the monetary gain I may get over there is definately more rewarding then me working my butt off and getting demotivated over here in Malaysia.

Right now, my question is ..

Does anyone know how long does the Visa Application and costs are like?
I've heard that its around RM1k+ plus it takes quite a while...

So was wondering if anyone here can provide some better facts and details ... or any other details regarding what I can expect from my jobs and life over there...

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

not trying to demotivate you..but as msian, only few type of visa is available in order for u to work legally in australia..

WHV - for those aged under 30, but got 100 quota per year.. (if im not wrong)

PR - this will take 1-2 years depending on your skills and experience

Sponsorship - have to get an employer in Oz to sponsor u to come over to work..

for start, goto www.immi.gov.au

and it's not easy to get a casual job here nowadays, and you've to consider the cost of living here as well, especially the rent, which will be expensive..

Thanks, will look into it..

I was thinking of applying for WHV ... casual jobs including farm work is hard to get nowadays? You're currently based in Aussie?
