Hi everyone,
It's been a while now that I would like to spend some tim down under and I'm considering moving to Sydney at the beginning of next year.
About me, I am 33 and I am a software engineer with many years of experience. I've spent 3 years in London (UK) and now live in France since July last year. The visa I will likely aim for is the Temporary Work Skilled visa 457.
In order to find a job I need to be sponsored by an Australian company and no doubt that it will be much easier for me to find a job once I get my feet in the country, so I was thinking about going to Australia with a tourist visa (I think I can stay 3 months in the country with this type of visa) and once I am in Sydney, I will try to find a job and be sponsored by a company.
Can you tell me if the fact that I will be in the Australia with a tourist visa looking to be sponsored will be an issue for me?
Can you also tell me if there is anything I haven't considered?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel
