hi all,
i have my very intention to move to australia to work/live permanently but not sure if i am qualified for the PR application requirements. hope can get some ideas from the experienced friends here and much appreciate your advice.
i am 36yrs old. i have 15yrs+ car dealership experience as a technician then promoted to service manager till now since i left my secondary school, i was not graduated though. have worked in china car dealer for one year. aside from my main work, i am an adroid apps developer, currently selling my apps on google playstore.
i dont mind to start from scratch in australia to get some low level work which is not related to my current field. and also plan to further study software programming while working there.
so, is it possible for me to get any kind of visa or pr to work/live in australia? if i am not qualified with the pr application, can i apply for the study visa to study and work there 1st?
i live in penang, any agents here that i can consult?
Few options.
1) take a course here from TAFE. Get a working visa 457. After 2 years eligible to apply pr.
2) apply for business migration visa. Buy a biz here. Biz Sales aud 200k /annum.
3) get someone to marry. Get defacto visa.
My advice is....
1) if you're a boss in malaysia, don't come. Here all DIY. No maid. All repair works is expensive. Malaysia very2 cheap. Not worth to sell all properties to come here.
2) save all your money for kid's uni fees.
3) average lifestyle here is good for poor guy like me. Can't make big money back home. Malaysia still have easy money in biz but not here. I got nothing but bring my brain here to earn money.
