Not fitting any visa

Hi all,

 

In my intro today I named that my wife and I are working and living in Sweden and not completely unknown to W-A. In the period 1978-1985 I spent 6 years and my wife 2 years in W-A.

Since our return to the Netherlands and our later move to Sweden we have been back several times to W-A on holidays to see our ex-colleagues and relatives. Three weeks ago we came back from another holiday, spent most in the Perth area.

We have our minds set to emigrate to W-A and settle in Perth but going on all the different visa options that I read we don't seem to fit in anywhere and no visa seems to cater for us.

- we are with my 59 and my wife's 57 regarded far too old (45 and 49 are named in visa as the threshold)

- my wife's occupation as primary school teacher does not lead to the required number of points

- I have not worked in my main occupation (automotive mechanic) for many years but in the aviation industry for which I do not have diplomas so I can't enter via a "Skilled visa"

- we are not dependent of/on relatives in Australia and neither are they dependent of us

etc. etc.....we just don't seem to fit in any route that would allow us to obtain a visa with some permanent character.

Any hints?

Sorry to hijack this thread but have a question re partner visa: is there an age limit to it? Ie my hubby is 46 this year is he to old to get a visa on the partner route, me being Australian?

 

thanks and sorry once again for the hijacking of thread x :biggrin:

This is perhaps what you need to work through. http://www.immi.gov.au/visawizard/

I think DyLeB was providing some advice as you are much more likely to get a response from a dedicated thread. It's likely they didn't mean to upset you.

I wasnt being rude - your question is completly different to the OP question.
