Answer 1

No tourism related occupations are listed on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL), so it will be impossible unless you have qualifications and experience in an occupation on the Employer Nomination Scheme Occupations List (ENSOL) and employer sponsorship. The only even vaguely related occupations that I can see on the ENSOL are Conference and Event Organiser 149311 and Hotel or Motel Manager 141311. You would be most unlikely to be able to get employer sponsorship without a good track record in your field and even if you have an employer willing to sponsor you, it MUST be for an occupation on the ENSOL or you are simply not eligible to apply for a permanent visa and that is what you need if you want to stay in Australia permanently.

The fact that you have family in Australia will help with settling in and perhaps with contacts, but from an immigration point of view, they would not be able to make it any easier for you to get a visa.

Answer 2

It'll be hard (but not completely impossible) to get a sponsorship. You're better off focusing on Sydney and Melbourne rather than anywhere else in Australia. There are quite a few vacancies in Sydney regarding international tourism management, so you might want to look into that. It never hurts to gather the information you need before going there.



What you can do is finish your degree, get a holidaymaker visa (which allows you to work there for a year), move there, rent a flat and start looking for work solidly throughout your time there whilst temping in a bar/pub.

i think of that maximum persons are below some impact that that's often sunny and heat in Australia, which isn't the case in maximum places. Melbourne to illustrate, is so unpredictable climate smart(yet nonetheless a great city). and additionally, it is so a great way away, the different area of the international, i think of people in simple terms see it as something somewhat 'unique', and new. My reason to to migrate, better than the climate, could be, the people, their laid back friendly suggestions-set is magnificent!
