My boyfriend & I are in the process of applying for a permanent visa on defacto basis. It's not the cheapest thing to do, but it was the best option 'coz the job he has is not classed as a "skilled" position.. Driving a truck is not skilled?? Anyway, have a look on www.immi.gov.au That's the main one with info on visa's required etc. I'm not too sure how you would go about it, depending on what qualifications you have. I'm assuming you're both from the US? Main visa's are partner (with one needing to be an Aussie or NZ citizen), skilled employee (where a company needs to sponsor you) and family (if you have family here). The skilled one is difficult as you need to convince a company to sponsor you to stay, after only being allowed to work for a maximum of 3 months with each employer... And also with a working visa, you need to be under 30... That's what we tried for firstly, but his job wasn't classed in demand... Which is crap 'coz there are plenty of jobs for truck drivers... But good luck, I don't know exactly which way you could go... But have a look at some of these websites! Firstly, good luck!

To visit, you must have a tourist visa, and that lasts for only 3 months. You may get another visa but you will have to leave the country first to do that. You may not work under the tourist visa. If you overstay the 3 months, you will not be allowed in for another year. To emigrate is TOUGH, maybe even tougher than the States. You must satisfy their 100 point system to even be eligible. The 100 points consists of having desirable criteria in their eyes, namely, your occupation, your age, how well you speak english, any relatives over there, how much you can invest. The crucial factor is occupation. They want people in certain fields that are in high demand over there. For example, mining engineers are highly sought after and get high points. Doctors are not and are low. The criteria change from year to year depending on the country's needs. Some people are rich enough to buy their way in but you have to be either a millionaire or have a passive retirement income of $50,000 per annum. Check out the website to take the points test to see if you qualify. Good luck mate! Australia is a tough nut to crack, maybe even tougher than the states.
