Jobs for foreigners in Australia

Hospitality jobs in Australia are great for students as they offer flexible schedules, do not require a high level of English, and pay around $17 per hour, which is quite good.

Some of the most common jobs in this sector include runner (delivering dishes to tables), barista (expert in making coffee, tea, milkshakes, etc.), waiter (taking orders at tables), kitchen hand (kitchen assistant), and dishwasher.

Hospitality jobs are perfect when you first arrive in Australia as they help you improve your English skills and open doors to other opportunities in the industry or other fields related to your studies.

Australia is one of the best destinations for students seeking opportunities in the marketing sector due to the high-quality education, many multinational companies, and high salary expectations. However, depending on the role, you may need a higher level of English than in other industries.

There are different visas that allow you to work in Australia. However, as visa experts in Australia, the most interesting and commonly recommended one by Dingoos is the student visa. This visa allows you to work and study part-time, does not require a certain level of English, and lets you stay in Australia for the duration of your enrolled course.

Best of all, if you feel like your course has flown by, no worries! You can enroll in another one and extend your visa again. It’s all advantages!

In addition to the student visa, there are other visas that allow you to work in Australia:

You will also need to obtain the Tax File Number (TFN), which is similar to the social security number in Spain. You should apply for this number before starting work.

On the other hand, if you are going to work as a freelancer, you must apply for what is known as an ABN (Australian Business Number). This can also be applied for online.

Another requirement is to have a bank account with an Australian bank. For example, if you come with Dingoos, we will help you set it up even before you arrive in Australia.

 It is a work visa that allows you to practice a qualified profession in Australia. Additionally, it is also a good pathway to obtaining permanent residency in Australia. There are four variants:

• Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189)
• Skilled Regional Provisional Visa (subclass 489)
• Graduate Temporaly Visa (subclass 485)
• Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)

If your profession is on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List, you can apply for the Skilled Independent Visa or the Graduate Temporary Visa. If your profession is on the Short-Term Strategic Skills List, you can apply for the Skilled Nominated Visa.

In the case of the Skilled Regional Provisional Visa, your profession must appear on either of the two strategic skills lists.

There are two types of requirements: those derived from the visa itself and those required by the entity responsible for validating your application.

The visa requirements include being under 45 years old, having a competent level of English (demonstrable with an IELTS certificate), having a profession on the corresponding visa list, and having demonstrable experience after graduation.

However, the requirements requested by the competent authority for professional validation can be extensive and difficult to prove. In the next section, we discuss this process.

To work in a profession in demand by the Australian government and obtain the Skilled Visa, you must validate your studies and experience.

In the list of occupations in demand, you will find the institution responsible for validating your studies depending on your field. They will tell you what documents you need to submit, how to do so, and even your real chances of obtaining the Skilled Visa.
