hi. i am croatian, and new in melbourne.
igor, it seems guys on this forum are very nice. but my advice to you is to stop applying for tourist visa and instead apply for a residence or working visa. for that you need to have some points, and occupation and working experience is very important. i think it is is easier to apply to new zealand, and from there you can come to australia. what is your occupation? try to gain some really good working experience, I know it is not so easy in croatia now. if not, try to come here as a student, in australia there are many schools, TAFE, universities, I dont know what are your interests. but for that you need money. after 2 years of studying here, you got some points, and I think work experience is not important then, but i am not sure. you are still very young, just do not get pesimistic and try to prepare for that what you want to do, that is build your CV, make yoursefl capable for something. even if you apply for residence visa you need to have some money, but i think its better that you prepare for it and save that money, instead to spend it on some touristic visit to australia, and australia is expensive. just check on any web site for immigration what are occupations that presently give points, and then see what is your profile, and what you can do about it. prepare yourself for coming here, if your dream is australia, but also you should know that it is all very difficult... i know how it is in the australian embassy in croatia - they are very very formal and will make contact with you only when they are sure you have a good chances to come here. its just their job, and we all know it is not easy to come here. you just need to prepare yourself very well in advance if you really want to come...
i was writing this in english, as i think it is an advice to anybody who wants to come to australia.
igor, samo nemoj upasti u cmizdrenje i slicno. ako ti je australija san, planiraj i pripremaj se. moras znati da ovdje nije lako, mozda ces biti jako usamljen. dobro je to sto si jos jako mlad pa ce ti mozda biti lakse, ali prije svega probaj se izgraditi profesionalno. to ti je najvaznije. ako imas neku profesiju koju ovdje trazi onda imas sanse, inace zaboravi australiju. ako dolazis kao turist, potraosit ces gomilu novca i vratiti se kuci, opet u nista. radije stedi, planiraj i pripremaj se. probaj otici na novi zeland. novi zeland je cak ljepsi od australije, ugodniji za zivot, i mozes dobiti radnu vizu cak i ako ne ispunjavas sve tocke... probaj to, lako poslije prijedes ovdje...
sretno.
