    I'm sure most countries would welcome you

    Try some of the asian countries which don't need visa's.

    NZ will allow you to work for 3 months at a time, without a permanent visa.

    Kind Regards Andy
    If you can't fix it leave it that no one else will:rolleyes:

    The fastest way would be- Get married with an OZ girl.

    A big route would be- study in any TAFE or college with mechanical or relevant engineering diploma or degree for more than 2 years and work 20 hrs/wk in the same field at the same time. You got their required degree and the working experience.
    Win Win situation, that is what is being said in Singapore.
    Make a good relationship with any OZ girl will win you triple. LOL

    Not a good start, but most are aware of the foolish acts of youth.
    If your criminal stint is less than 3 years in prision, then not as big a problem as you may think.
    If your are "fully qualified refrigeration engineer" then this puts you at the top of the wanted list, especially in AUS (true 18 months ago). At your age you can travel on a young persons working visa, you then could get sponsor by a fridge company (if you are any good)

    If you have a boat just turn up or ,

    If you go to NZ , they take anyone as well . After you get permanent rasidency in NZ you just jump on a plane to AUS .

    Personally Ithink we have enough crims + druggo's here already as NZ sent them here already .
