Anyone know what the main reasons are for being refused the visa? I have read a few threads about application errors but I mean if they ask for CV's are they pick and choosing the candidates with better qualifications etc?

Thanks

Isn't it first come first served?

the main reason i think would be dates not matching up between the iec part and your cv

From what I gather the only reason for application refusal is been found to be inadmissible due to criminal convictions. I have degrees, certs and over 10 years experience in my field ….. this ,in no way, will give me preference over any other applicant, in fact isn’t it the pubs, restaurants & resorts they expect you to work in…..jobs that normally don’t require a great deal of experience (to get started in). So wouldn’t be worried, the CV request is down to the fact that you are applying for a work holiday.:)

with the Garda cert, I just went into the station, they filled out a form with all my details, previous addresses etc, I got a sheet out a few days later confirming I'd never had any convictions, but it doesnt have passport info or anything, is that the right one?

edit: its stamped, and signed by the chief superintendant, i checked online who the one in the closest station was and its the same guy, guess thats it?

I done the exact same thing and probably the same as yours as well. I hope it's the right one!

Its stamped, dated, signed by the local superintendant, looks like it is, anyone got one thats something different?

Quick question for anyone here -

I presume "Proof that you meet the requirements of the job being offered" (under supporting documents) is your CV?

Is there a checklist out already? Just wondering how everyone knows exactly what to have ready, eg digital photos to upload, dimensions, etc?
I know the police certs are a standard and have to be dated within 3 mths yeah? Also, is the standard disclosure name check ok for an Australian police check does anyone know?

That's great, thanks for that. Need to send off for both- just got my name changed as recently married so was waiting on my passport to come back. Won't be able to apply for IEC as soon as it opens, but hopefully will have all in order for it in a few weeks!
Do you mind me asking did you get a standard Oz check or the one with fingerprints? Trying to get an answer on this for a while so seeing as you just got one your my reliable source to ask now lol

Yeah I emailed them asking what one I need at the beginning of jan and no reply! But I did start the application through an online form and paid for the one that's around $45 so was hoping I was getting the right one! I need to mail them on the completed form with a few diff id's to make 100points on their checklist. So am going to send scanned passport, birth cert and utility bill - hopefully that'll suffice!
I'll know now to ring them if I need any info - so much for them advertising their email for all queries!!

Does the IEC require a medical? I have mild arthritis so I'll have to ask my doc what the story is with getting a prescription for any meds I need, which aren't much, I'm in good health otherwise though, presume its a standard medical checkup?

Tonto86

Does anyone know how we sign the forms? Is this some kind of digital signature upload?

Spiderlfc

Anyone any idea on this?

Quick question for anyone here -

Hi guys,
2 Quick questions
1.Does it matter whether the items to be scanned(passport & photo's) are scanned in colour or black and white?
2.Do I have to scan my birth cert also?

As far as I'm aware you only need to get a medical done depending on the type of work you're going to do - ie teachers, nurses, etc - I don't think you need one for the general application.

That's the way it was a few years back anyway. Sorry I don't have the exact answer.

I have to work my medications out also. I am hoping to get 3 mth script before I go, but I doubt my pharmacist will prescribe the 3mths so the 2nd and 3rd I'll probably have to get over there. Dunno if they'l accept my irish scripts or if I have to go to a doc and get them converted. I am hoping to be on less meds before I leave (trying to lose weight which I hope will help) but I am b12 deficiant and get 3mthly injections of it and have to (for goodness knows why reason) take folic acid with it, that one won't change unfortch
