Is the eligibility down to whether you can get a permanent visa through the Skilled Qualification Scheme?
Any idea how strict the "3 years experience" is enforced? I have 2,5 years at the moment.
I'm not really sure about the exact process of getting the visa as I was born in Aus. As for the experience if you impress they will usually be okay with being a few months short.
MelbATC,
The link you provide appears to be for the ab-initio program, not for experienced controllers?
.....ok, maybe I was late!
The job listing that was listed for experienced controllers has ended, however if interested just keep checking as there should be a new one within a few weeks.
