It seems like you need to have the support and sponsorship of an employer to obtain a work visa. The most information I could find was directly from the source:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work

or here are the skills that Australia is particularly hiring for:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil-1

I didn’t see too many forums that give helpful tips to those over 30, but when I did a google search, I filtered all the results to be within the last year, and there are quite a few job boards with specific jobs posted.

I hope that’s helpful and good luck!

I’m over 30 and have already done the working holiday (on which I lost my heart to Australia ?). Do you maybe know of any blogs that can help me with that? It’s quite hard to find information about it… This is a cool post though!! ✌?️

I certainly don’t want to make it look like all my traveling comes from tricky “deals” and “insider tips.” I go to work everyday like everybody else. Just with palm trees and a beach nearby!

Comment on Dual Citizenship and the Passport Process by Drew https://www.fannypacktravel.com/latest-posts/dual-citizenship-and-the-passport-process/#comment-147 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:51:20 +0000 http://www.fannypacktravel.com/?p=1314#comment-147 Jeff,
I am a dual citizen originally from Glasgow and been living in PA for 18 years.
Having your British passport means that generally you can travel in and out of the UK without a visa as well as the rest of Europe. I use my UK passport going into Europe and my USA one when coming back into the States. That way you get through immigration quickly on both sides of the pond. In fact in the UK you will be able to use the auto kiosks at the airport by scanning your UK passport. That is just about where the benefits end.
Citizenship and residency are two very different things. So although you will be able to go and stay anywhere in the UK for any amount of time there are a lot of rules regarding how long you have to be resident before you can access certain benefits etc. You also will still have to get our equivalent of a social security number which is a National Insurance number, to be able to work. There are loads of free advice services over there as well as online. So never pay to find out anything. I hope this gets you started, I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Claire,
I am about to renew my UK passport and having a heck of a time trying to get photos. Where did you get your photos done? Passports used to be handled by the embassy in DC for expats. So you could actually go in and speak to a human. No appointment needed, what a concept. Now it is all handled in the UK and is such a pain in the arse.
Cheers,
Drew
PS guys
Now that you are UK citizens you need to use “Brit word”. So, don’t be going over there using the word Fanny pack or anything else with the word fanny in it 🙂

Hi Jeff! If you received your British passport, you are considered a British citizen and should not have to get a visa or sponsorship. However, since I am not an expert/legally qualified in any way, I would check with your local British embassy just to be sure.

Good luck and congrats!

Sincerely,
Claire

I am in the same position as you and just received my Brit passport in the mail after months of bureaucratic tennis.
Can you confirm for me whether dual citizenship and the passport grants full right to abode in the UK?
As in now, with the passport, am I free to move over there without any further visa applications or paperwork?

Thanks. Good luck with your move.
Jeff.
