How do duty taxes work in Australia?
What are the allowances? Can you ship gifts back to the USA prior to departure? How does the departure tax work? What's the best way to handle getting gifts/souvenirs from Australia to the USA? Should they be shipped ahead of time, or checked on board your homebound flight?

ask income tax department.

you really need to be more specific.it's no hassle to post items to the us,just do it.if you want to take it with you when you fly out you have restrictions on taking into the us more that a litre [or so] of alchohol duty free. if you want to take in more do it. declare it and pay the duty. why bother tho it's cheap to buy in us anyway. be aware tho with the weight of your bag.anything over your allowance and it costs heaps.alternately stuff it in a wooden crate and ship 3 months ahead.
3 :
By purchasing gifts etc at all the leading dept stores they will arrange shipment for u at yr expense. Air frieght is very expensive. Larger goods purchased from a respectable trader can be simlarly arranged. When purchasing prove u r a visitor, show passport etc. then u can claim GST {service tax} avoidance

You Working Holiday visa has no restrictions on the type of work you can do and as long as you don't work for any given employer for longer than 6 months, you are free to work wherever and at whatever you wish. In Western Australia however, you must be registered to work as a hairdresser, so that will be a barrier to working over there for a short period of time. For information, see: http://www.hrb.org.au/content.php?page=28 I've been seeing heaps of signs at salons here in Brisbane saying that they're currently hiring, so it seems that the employment prospects are fairly bright and I expect that would be the case in our other cities too. I'm not sure how prepared employers would be to hire for only 4 months, but if they need staff and you're good at your work, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

How possible is it for an American to work in Australia for a for few months or longer? What kinds of jobs?

You can apply--before the age of 30, a holiday/work visa. Once this visa has expired, you must leave--most people will go to New Zealand and do the same thing.

You're under 31 and you have a college degree, so you're eligible for a 12 month Work and Holiday visa.That will allow you to work anywhere, at any type of work with the only restriction being that you can only work for each employer for a maximum of 6 months. W&HVs are fast and easy to get and everyone eligible who applies will get one - there is no quota. You can only ever get 1 W&HV in a lifetime. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462/usa/ When you arrive, you may be expected to prove that you have access to around AUD$5000 (bank account, credit card, traveller's cheques etc) and either a return ticket or additional funds to buy one. During your W&HV, you'll be able to find casual work in bars and restaurants or call centres; there's always fruit picking work available somewhere throughout the country or depending on your skills, you may be able to find work in your usual field though the 6 month per employer restriction may make that difficult. If you want to stay and work for longer than 12 months, the only visa you will be eligible to apply for from within Australia is a subclass 457 temporary employer sponsored visa. For that, you must have qualifications and experience in an occupation on our Skilled Occupations List (SOL) and you must be able to find an employer who is eligible and willing to jump through the considerable hoops required to sponsor you in that occupation. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf The current SOL.

Your profession has now been removed from the list of migration professions, so unless you are eligible for a 1 year working holiday visa, you will not be able to work in Australia. At the end of this visa, you will have to return home as a perm visa is no longer possible for your profession.

If you're aged between 18 and 30 and are a high school graduate, you will be eligible for a 12 month Work and Holiday visa.

If you're a good hair stylist, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding temporary work in any state except Western Australia - you must be registered there to work as a hairdresser. If you want to stay in Australia, hairdressing is still eligible for employer sponsored visas so if you can find an employer who is willing to sponsor you for a temporary work visa, that will be your route to an eventual permanent employer sponsored visa.

You could get a Working holiday visa which allows you to stay and work for a year - but to migrate it is extremely hard. The government makes a list of the areas of need (Where there are not enough Australians working in) every couple of months - these careers are the ones you can migrate with but you have to have the qualifications and experience. At the same time the government puts in place encouragement programs to get more Australians trained in that area - when they graduate that career is then removed from the list. So realistically - if you see a career on the list that you are interested in but not trained in - by the same you get qualified and have the 2 years experience needed it will no longer be on the list. Remember migration is in place to help the COUNTRY not the wants and desires for other countries citizens. Harsh but that is life.

Hello. It is ok here. There is work if you want to get out and look. Some people find work hard but also you have to try and get work.

To immigrate into Australia you will need formal recognised qualifications plus at least two years verifiable experience in a skill that Australia wants and needs at the time. This is the SOL - Skilled Occupations List. This in itself is no guarantee of acceptance. The entire migration process would normally take between 18 and 30 months. Your Canadian & UK citizenships would have no bearing on the matter. As a college graduate you would not have the experience needed to fulfill that part of the requirements. What you would probably be best off doing is getting a "young persons working holiday" visa. These are valid for 12 months (extendable in certain circumstances) and allow "young persons" between the ages of 18 & 30 to come to Australia for an extended holiday and finance it whilst over here by short-term (6 month max any one employer) working. This gives you the chance to see if real living & working in Australia bears any resemblance to the TV shows that you have been watching, prior to embarking on the full-scale migration process.

When my permanent residency for Australia runs out could I enter the country on a tourist visa and live/work
When my permanent residency for Australia runs out could I enter the country on a tourist visa and live/work?
it runs out march 2010. I want to know if that means i wont be able to live/ work in Australia after that. I have spent 18 months living/working in Australia during my 5 year working visa.

Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
You NEED to get back before it runs out, otherwise, you may need to apply again. A tourist visa will NOT allow you to work here.
2 :
If you have a permanent residency visa you should not need to worry about it. Permanent residency means you can live and work in Australia for the rest of your life. If you only have a temporary work visa then you need to leave before your visa expires and re-apply for another work visa. You are not allowed to work on a tourist visa and only allowed to be in Australia on a tourist visa for 3 months. If you stay longer than that and get caught on an expired visa they will deport you and you cannot enter for 5 years. If you are married to an Australian citizen then you can apply for a permanent residency visa through your spouse. If you have a particular type of job Australia is in need of workers for (like doctors) then you can apply for a permanent residency visa too. Australia has a huge shortage of skilled workers in certain fields. You can find out what these are if you go on-line and look it up. Good luck.
3 :
I dont get it??? permanent residency means you are a permanent resident...my husband just got his!!! I am not quite sure what the problem is??
4 :
If you have permanent residency and you're in Australia, it won't run out, so you must have something other than that. Perhaps you mean that you had permanent residency and then left Australia on a Resident Return Visa which expires in March 2010. If you have a BF111 visa label in your subclass 155 visa, it will remain in force indefinitely provided you return to Australia within 3 years of each departure. If you do not have a BF111 label, you must visit a DIAC office to obtain one, but you may have already left it too late to do so. You should contact the embassy or consulate in your current country of residence as soon as possible. If you have left Australia and stayed away too long, you evidently did not sufficiently value your Australian Permanent Residency and it will lapse. You will then need to start from scratch to obtain it again. If your Authority to Return or Return Endorsement expires, you will not be able to re-enter Australia and work until you are granted a work visa of some kind. Tourist visas are for non-working tourists - no one is allowed to work on a tourist visa, regardless of their former status. If you work whilst on a tourist visa, you and your employer will probably be charged with immigration offences; you will probably be deported and you will probably be excluded from obtaining any other Australian visa for 3 years or more.

yeah you can get one my boyfriend did after his expired he got it after 7 months he was deported

You NEED to get back before it runs out, otherwise, you may need to apply again. A tourist visa will NOT allow you to work here.
2 :
If you have a permanent residency visa you should not need to worry about it. Permanent residency means you can live and work in Australia for the rest of your life. If you only have a temporary work visa then you need to leave before your visa expires and re-apply for another work visa. You are not allowed to work on a tourist visa and only allowed to be in Australia on a tourist visa for 3 months. If you stay longer than that and get caught on an expired visa they will deport you and you cannot enter for 5 years. If you are married to an Australian citizen then you can apply for a permanent residency visa through your spouse. If you have a particular type of job Australia is in need of workers for (like doctors) then you can apply for a permanent residency visa too. Australia has a huge shortage of skilled workers in certain fields. You can find out what these are if you go on-line and look it up. Good luck.

I dont get it??? permanent residency means you are a permanent resident...my husband just got his!!! I am not quite sure what the problem is??

Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia
Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia?
I want to buy a new camera from japan while im on holidays, will it work when i get back to australia?i know that i'll need an adaptor but i dont understand the voltage differences and if the battery charger will work here.

Almost all chargers sold today will feature a power supply that can take any voltage in the world. If not then you can probably find something that will work in oz on ebay
2 :
You'll probably be better off buying a camera where you are. Prices in Japan could be higher. Plus there maybe a problem with the warranty once you take it out of the country.Not to mention the added cost of buying a voltage converter.
3 :
You will probably need an adapter but usually the cameras come with such things incorporated... I bought a Nikon from US and I am using it in Europe with no problem. I just changed the power adapter and I am charging my camera battery simple. You should ask the camera salesman if the camera you want to buy has an adapter incorporated and if not how much cost one and where can you find it. Good luck

Will a japanese guitar pedal work in australia

If I buy a brand new pedal from Japan, will it work in Australia without destroying it, both physically and in sound quality?

yeh, i think it should! but you better call the seller and ask first!
2 :
You may need to call your power company, google the specs on the pedal and google to buy an adapter. If it operates on battery power (probably 9 volt), it will not matter. In 2000, Australia converted to 230 V as the nominal standard with a tolerance of +10% -6%, this superseding the old 240 V standard, AS2926-1987. In Japan, the electrical power supply to households is at 100 V. Eastern and northern parts of Honshū (including Tokyo) and HokkaidŠhave a frequency of 50 Hz, whereas western Honshū (including Nagoya, Osaka, and Hiroshima), Shikoku, Kyūshū and Okinawa operate at 60 Hz. To accommodate the difference, frequency-sensitive appliances marketed in Japan can often be switched between the two frequencies. In general, most of the world uses the 230V standard. This also means that standard 230V equipment can be used in most parts of the world, with only a minor change in the equipment's electrical plug for a specific country.

what the the procedures and difficulties to work as a registered doctor in Australia
what the the procedures and difficulties to work as a registered doctor in Australia?
I am going to take MBBS (Monash) at the Malaysia campus. It is accredited by the Australian Medical Council. That means I can work in Australia or New Zealand. I would like to know about the job opportunities for doctor in Australia. What are the chances to be posted as a doctor there? I am a Malaysian. I heard it is easier to get a post in the rural area than the cities. I would also like to know about the details to do specialization in Australia. How long must I work as a doctor before I can specialize?

If you are aged 18-30 you can apply very easily for a working holiday visa http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ If you are over 30 your options are much more limited, you would need to apply for a skilled migration visa which is expensive and can take a long time to be approved. This allows permanent residency.

unless your highly skilled in an occupation Australia needs then a working holiday visa is your only avenue

How can I get permanent work in Australia
How can I get permanent work in Australia?
I will be going to Australia on a gap year soon but would very much like to stay there. Is there a way of finding work and using that work to stay longer than my gap year visa?
Other - Australia - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
What country are you from? If you're entering on a Working Holiday visa (subclass 417), and work for a total of 3 months doing seasonal work for a primary producer, you can get a second 12 month working holiday visa, but it's not possible to get extensions beyond that. If you're not from a qualifying country or if you want to stay permanently, as a new high school graduate, you would not have sufficient skills and qualifications to qualify for a work visa under our current immigration laws. You would need to either do your further studies here and gain Australian qualifications, or return to your own country, get qualifications and some experience and then apply in a few years. For info. on the second WH visa go to: http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/index.htm For all other immigration information, see:http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/index.htm Take particular notice of the visa types, required occupations and the points test requirements.

No, to immigrate to Australia you must be a skilled worker in an occupation Australia needs,and you need to apply from your home country,you must also pass a points test list of occupations http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf points test http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/175/eligibility-applicant.htm visa http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/visa-options-outside.htm

4 :
yep check these guys out, they take care of all aussie visas
5 :
the answers above regarding 417 visa etc are all good and correct. There is however also available a 457 class visa, IF (and its a big if) you have particular skills and an Australian employer is prepared to sponsor you. These visas allow up to 4 years stay (I think). However you say this is a gap year thing, so that suggests that you might need or want to get a bit more experience under your belt before considering seeking such sponsorship as simply having completed school education isn't likely to be terribly convincing as a "skill" or qualification. Nonetheless, come and spend your year here and see in fact whether you like it? Then, maybe you can examine options for the future. Good luck.
