Can anyone help me? I am English, married to an Australian and living here in Queensland. My son is engaged to a Polish girl and currently lives still in the UK. They would like to come over and work here for possibly 12 months (maybe even marry whilst they are here?) but I have found that my sons girlfriend cannot get a working /holiday visa. Can anyone tell me how she can get into Australia for longer than 3 months? I know she could apply for a 3 month tourist visa but how can she get in for longer? I would appreciate any help or advice as there must be somebody in your community who may know??
Thank you
Sue

From what I know (and I'm no migration agent) if she gets a tourist visa without a "NO FURTHER STAY" condition she might be able to stay longer than 3 months; however, this kind of visa will not give her a permission to work.

As far as the working holiday visa goes last time I checked Polish citizens were not eligible for it. Now, if your son's girlfriend has been residing in the UK long enough (I think 5 years is required but not entirely sure) she might be able to apply for her British citizenship, get a British passport and then get an Australian working holiday visa with no problems whatsoever.

I am not an immigration advisor, but. One can apply for a tourist visa for 12 months. Most work visas either require someone who has a skilled occupation (on the skilled occupation list) or to get a job at which the employer will sponsor them for a visa. http://www.immi.gov.au/visawizard/
