couple of questions about going back to Oz

rivermetimbers

Hi all, I lived in Oz for 2.5 years, in which time i was not seriously thinking about staying long term so i mostly worked ABN and did not pay tax as i knew i would not be staying. things have since changed since my return to Ireland and I find myself wanting to go back...will this outstanding tax hurt my chance of a visa?i aslo have a s*itload of toll fines from using the tolls around sydney in my name so the same question again.i dont mind going back on a 3 month holiday visa to start cause i have work to start as soon as i get there with an old boss but should i get sponsorship sorted before i do a days work at all or are they that fussy?thanks for any help

you wont be granted a new visa till you pay all the money.

I find it interesting that you pretty much took the michael out of Australian law and not only are you hoping to go back and live there but again you are planning to go back on a holiday visa and start working when you do not have a right to do so. How can you honestly expect to get to stay with an attitude like yours (and that is not me saying that you will not get to stay ) but I certainly would not start your second time in Australia on the wrong side of Australia law...you have already but several barriers in the way of getting a visa as you have hardly made yourself out to be the ideal citizen. If you want to help your case you may want to clear your debts of your own accord...showing that you know you took the piss and now you want to make ammends for that.
You may well find this is the classic...your past coming to bite you on a ass but good luck...I suspect you are going to need a lot of it :rolleyes:

Advice
1: Be advised there is a question on the form for PR possibly for the 457 as well ."Do you owe the Australian Goverment money?"

2: You cannot work on a Holiday VISA at all.

3: What did your old boss employ you as? You still need a skill on the skills lists to be sponsored for a 457. These skills often request a 18Month Prior experience to be proven in that Skill. In your case your Aus employer may be that proof. In which case this will surface the whole "Why have you no Tax record for that Period?"

4: 2.5 Years in Oz , I am assuming you where on a 2 Year WHV and spent some time out of Oz in the middle.

LOL tender about your past biting you on the ass eh
I did offer you advice...get your wallet out and pay your debts and don't go on a holiday visa and start working...sort out your sponsorship first!
:rolleyes:
