iris123 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Rammstien, both you and I knows that the "Eastern Europe tourists" are citizens of the European Union and that the UK immigration authorities have no right to deny them entry to the UK. And that Australia pride themselves on being very restrictive........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 correct oz riders are treated like dirt it's ok to have eastern euros living in the uk who are benifit tourist's but riders who want to come to the uk to make a living are denied Go to Australia and try to get a work permit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Agreed - very hard. Going through it now. Dont blame the UK for making it hard for aussies to get in - the paperwork, hassle and most of all money that me and two mates are paying to stay in Australia long term is an absolute joke.

There are "programs" going on, or at least were, where you apply and if approved, you are set for maybe a year to live and work in Australia. The "program" has sorted all the red tape, you just need to pay the flights or similar. Never applied myself (it was for a certain age group) but some friends of friends have and then come back after three weeks of lamb manure...

bruno Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just dropped my eldest at Heathrow ,he's travelling up the east coast with a mate who's already out there and has just got approval to stay and work for a second year.apparently he doesn't think there's any chance he will be allowed to stay after that.my sons going to suss out if he would have a better quality of life if he moved over there.hes a gas engineer which apparently gives him a good chance of being accepted.whats not to like about this country anymore!!!!!!!! Btw he asked me to go with him but I have a pathological fear of snakes bordering on the ridiculous so no chance!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozrik Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Is batchelor competing? Rumour that he's had a motocross accident!!? Confirmed that Batchelor is out. Badly broken arm in recreational MX accident. Will not interfere with his British league commitments, but will see him out of the gp qualifiers for 2016. The first step for Australian riders being the Aussie title in early January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozrik Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Go to Australia and try to get a work permit. Australian visa requirements are fairly straight forward imo. Foreign workers can be sponsored by a business, employer or State government agency for specific skills which meet a need in the Australian economy. Alternatively they can apply under independent visa requirements, same conditions without a sponsor. There is a 457 visa which enables foreigners long term employment(4 years) with a view to permanent residency. There is some debate about misuse of 457 visas. I dont think they are popular with Aussie workers. A 421 visa is for sports people (none of the complicated tier requirements like in the UK). You can train, compete, manage or judge in your chosen sport. There are no other qualifying requirements, however i dont know if particular Australian sporting groups set certain skill levels. No specific skill requirements or qualification for speedway riders. The debate in Australia, as is the case in many nations, is about refugees, illegal arrivals and others trying to circumvent the process.

Your boy wants to get searching for a company who will sponsor him then, if hes any good at his job then it wont be a problem. The construction industry here is booming, and brits , at least in melbourne and sydney, are welcomed by construction bosses with open arms. The typical aussie is nothing but a whinging lazy waste of space (that coming from many older aussie guys who i or mates have worked for). The irish in particular are always welcomed on sites as they work like animals, although they come with a bit of baggage. I know my boss (im a concrete formwork and shuttering carpenter) loves us brits and europeans. Anyone who says getting in here is easy though is wrong. Its a very complicated, time consuming and expensive process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very complicated, time consuming and expensive process! There is, ordinary short term and working visas available, which most young Brits would have no problem acquiring. Short term because we know most will return home when they have finished working here. Unless of course, they like Aussies so much, they decide to stay. Those ones can become Australian citizens.

Pinny Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yes there is the working holiday visa you get for a year, and if you complete three months of regional work during that time your entitled to apply for a second year. Not many come on those visas here and end up staying legally though , i was lucky. So many friends ive made here have had to return home due to not finding a boss willing to sponsor or, even more commonly, being led on for ages by their boss with promises of a sponsorship visa, only to be let down last minute. Im going through sponsorship now, its a lot of hassle let me tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Appleby Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 There is, ordinary short term and working visas available, which most young Brits would have no problem acquiring. As Pinny says, it's not that straightforward to get a visa beyond the working holiday thing. You either need a sponsor and/or need to be in an approved occupation plus have all sorts of qualifications. With respect to the sports visa, there's far fewer opportunities for professional employment in Australia than the UK, whether speedway or otherwise. You could probably make a full-time living in English football down to the 7th to 8th tier, whereas there's really only about 40 full-time professional teams across all sports in Australia.

Pinny Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 In fairness with my visa - they didnt ask for qualifications just proof of expierience of at least 3 years in the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
