Guest guest9520 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 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? E&R (sorry, can't release our names yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cow Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ok, ignore my question on your other thread lol. I'm afraid your ages are almost certainly not going to get you visas. Did you not get citizenship when you lived here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Agree with Mad Cow, age is a setback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sorry to say but your age is very much against you unless you are able to look at a Retirement Visa and are "well heeled"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
