Yes, but you must hold a valid Australian Visa that permits you to work in Australia. To obtain that in general terms you would require employer sponsorship.



No, not correct. There are various Visas available, both temporary Visas (up to four years) and permanent residence Visas.

You need to check the Australian "Skills in Demand" to see whether your skills are being sought overseas. If your skill or trade isn't on the list, forget it!

If you are thinking of pilot employment, don't get your hopes up as you would need extensive experience, including experience and/or specialist qualifications not readily available in Australia.

We have more than enough young, qualified Australian pilots trying to find flying jobs, without employing low time overseas pilots.

Thanks for your kind reply.

I made a Google research about pilot job visa. I've seen that last year was possible to get the permanent visa now only years temporary visa.

I'm asking this because I'm thinking to go in Australia for the pilot license, and would like to know if I can work there after the degree.
