Australia is a great welcoming country to live - work and play. There are many ways you can enjoy Australia, but if you are a citizen of another country, you will have to apply for the appropriate visa. There are many visa's available to work, holiday, study or live in Australia.

There are also humanitarian visa's available for refugees suffering special circumstances. But be warned, dont try boating into Australia, or the government of Australia, will ship you off to a detention camp for years, and then your application might not be successful and you and your family, will be deported back to where you came. So beware before thieving boat charter companies tell you they can get you into Australia, and charge you a large fee. You will be imprisoned!

Australia, does require many skilled workers, to take up the slack of successive government apathy toward apprenticeships, so if you have a skill, you should apply.

If you are coming for a holiday in beautiful Australia, you will need a holiday visa, and provided you have no criminal skeletons in your closet, you will be welcomed.
