You need to know that a residence permit is not enough to work in the country, but a work permit is also required (it is illegal to work if you have a tourist visa). It is therefore important to choose the type of visa that best suits your characteristics and needs. The legislation of reference is the Migration Regulations which defines the criteria for admission of foreigners, the rights and duties of the same and the conditions under which they can be expelled.</p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009317881,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009317881,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9009317881?profile=original" /></a></strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Australia Working Holiday Visa</strong></p><p></p><p>The Residence Permit for young people who want to study and work in Australia is the Working Holiday Visa, a sub-category of Temporary Visa. This visa lasts one year, costs 365 Australian dollars (just under 300 euros) and is reserved for under-31s; you can enter Australia before you have reached the 31st year of life if you want to stay only 365 days (1 year). This visa allows you to work in any sector and with any type of contract (part-time, full-time or casual) provided they are not used by the same employer for a period longer than 6 months.</p><p></p><p><strong>How to apply for the Working Holiday Visa?</strong></p><p></p><p>The application for the Working Holiday Visa can be made online on <a href="http://www.australia.gov.au/">the Australian Government</a> website. Just log in and fill in the appropriate form. If the visa is approved, after a few hours (in case of checks after days) the user will receive an email with the Visa number and the documentation. A self-declaration will also be required to certify that the registrant will be able to maintain himself and will be able to purchase the return flight ticket. While this Self-certification is sufficient for the Working Holiday Visa, for other visas it is compulsory to own the plane ticket for the return.</p><p>Can you renew for another year? You can renew the WHV whether you are still in Australian territory and want to prolong your stay, whether you are leaving Australia and want to apply for a second visa for another year. The necessary requisites are: </p><p>Having completed 88 days by doing specific jobs (work in the agricultural field, fishing, tree cutting, mining work, construction work) in the Australian regional areas during the first Working Holiday Visa<br /> Be aged between 18 and 30 (inclusive) when applying for a visa<br /> Not be accompanied by children during the entire stay in Australia.<br /> If the visa is requested outside the Australian territory, it must be requested no earlier than 12 months from the scheduled date to return to Australia.</p><p>Do you need anything else besides the WHV?<strong> </strong>To work in Australia are required small certifications that vary depending on the sector in which you want to operate? For example, working with children requires a Working with Children Check, a document issued by the Australian police that certifies the absence of a criminal record. To work in bars and be allowed to serve alcohol, a "responsible serving alcohol" RSA course is required that can be obtained online or by attending classes (costs and methods vary depending on the state); instead, to work in the construction world the White Card is required, ie a course on workplace safety. Usually when you are in Australia it is the employers themselves who explain to you what certifications you need and give you information on how to get them.</p><p></p><p><strong>Temporary Visa for Australia</strong></p><p></p><p>Those wishing to work in Australia for a short period of time can apply for Temporary Visa. The condition necessary to obtain this type of visa is to already be in contact with an Australian employer, who will have to fill in a specific documentation to allow the foreigner to apply for a visa. The validity of the residence permit is 4 years. Basically, those aged 31 and above who want to work in Australia cannot think of moving and then looking for work on the spot, but they have to find work even before leaving. Fortunately, now the technological tools and the internet help, for example the interviews can be done via Skype.</p><p></p><p><strong>Australia Skilled Migration Visa</strong></p><p></p><p>Those who decide to work in Australia for a long period of time must apply for <strong><a href="https://www.rightstepmigration.com/australia/skilled-migration-australia.html">Skilled Migration Visa</a></strong>. The Australian Department of Immigration issues these visas at its discretion, based on the professional figures required in the country. How to get this type of visa? It is necessary to demonstrate that they possess the necessary requisites that are evaluated through a points system. Points are awarded based on various factors such as: language skills, age, professional skills and work experience. By doing a web search you can easily find agencies that allow foreigners to calculate their score to know if they are eligible to obtain a visa before starting the application procedure that can be long and require payment of money. If the point’s evaluation is successful, the foreigner can apply for a residence permit. You will need a complete documentation to attach to the application including birth certificate, passport, any additional certificates and letters of reference. How many visas are available? The number of visas issued is at the discretion of the Australian authorities.</p><p></p><p>For each application to obtain a residence permit it is necessary to pay a commission, which can also be huge. The amount of the commission is subject to continuous changes, to get detailed and updated information we advise you to visit the Australian Government website.</p><p>It is possible to hire a consultant to be guided in the process, but this does not ensure that your application is accepted. For anyone in need of support and assistance, the Australian Immigration Department provides certified <strong><a href="https://www.rightstepmigration.com/australia/">Australian immigration agents</a></strong> that offer paid consulting services. The immigration agent can recommend the most appropriate type of visa, provide assistance in completing the visa application, present it on your behalf and act as a link with the relevant offices. Assistance from consultants is not mandatory, it is only an additional service; in fact, every user can submit his / her own practices in a completely autonomous way by contacting the Immigration Department directly. It is strongly advised to consult the list of agents at the Migration Agents Registration Authority - MARA website to avoid incurring possible scams by whistleblowers who offer this service even if not authorized.</p></div>Tourism and Migrationshttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/tourism-and-migrations2016-05-03T21:00:00.000Z2016-05-03T21:00:00.000ZPeter Tarlowhttps://tripatini.com/members/PeterTarlow<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009055680,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009055680,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009055680?profile=original" /></a><br /> <br /> All around the world, immigration and refugees are a hot topic. Europe is locked in a debate as to how to handle the millions of people who seek to migrate there. The US also has a similar debate running through its presidential election process. This article does not address the issue of immigration and refugees but it does look at how the movements of people impact the tourism industry.<br /> <br /> Tourism is much more than merely about the movement of people from one place to another. It is also the exchange of cultures and the appreciation of the “other”. Tourism movements are not only about people from one place visiting another place, but often the tourist industry “imports” guest workers. These “people from other lands” provide needed services and often also give a sense of the exotic or internationalization to their host centers of employment. For example, the cruise industry has long sought multi-national and multilingual staffs. These international employees benefit from a chance to travel the world and provide a special flare and <em>joie de vivre</em> to the cruise experience. In other cases, people from one land have provided needed services in another nation and at the same time benefited from wages that may be higher than in their own countries plus the experience of having lived in a foreign land.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, due to issues of international crime and terrorism, our ability to travel freely or experience foreign employment opportunities is now being reviewed and in some places is being curtailed. <strong><a href="http://www.tourismandmore.com/" target="_blank">Tourism and More</a></strong>'s <strong><em>Tourism Tidbits </em></strong>offers ideas on how we can maintain and open and hospitable industry while at the same time maintaining safety and security standards. Please note that every location has specific needs. The information given below is meant only for the purpose of creative dialogue and does not give place specific recommendations. Please consult with local authorities before taking any specific action.<br /> <br /> <span style="color:#ff0000;">-Develop a knowledgeable tourism police. </span>The key word here is knowledgeable. Too few tourism locations have a special tourism police, and many of those who do, do not have police who are trained as specialists in both the tourism side and the security side of the equation. Tourism police need to know more than merely how to stop pick-pocketing or deal with crimes of distraction. They need to be experts in everything from cyber security to hotel security, from issues of immigration to issues of legal and illegal employment. Tourism police must also know how to work with other forms of security professionals, especially those who work in private security. These security specialists also need to know marketing. A decision may make security sense but if that decision destroys businesses, then in the end it will prove to be counterproductive. For example, it is essential to know when police should be undercover and when they should be in standard or special uniforms. Tourists tend to spend more money where there is a visible police presence, thus too few police in uniform can be a costly mistake.<br /> <br /> <font color="#FF2600">-Develop a tourism immigration committee.</font> This committee should be composed of specialists from law enforcement, from immigration and customs authorities, from the hotel industry and tourism industry, and from the local legislature or government. Make sure that laws match both security and economic needs.<br /> <br /> <span style="color:#ff0000;">-Learn from others. </span>Go to tourism security conferences, write to colleagues and learn what did and did not work in the world of tourism security. Then adapt the other locale’s policies to your local needs. Some policies may not be geographically or culturally specific while other may address problems in one locale and not be valid for another locale. A mistake in one location may not be a mistake in another location.<br /> <br /> <font color="#FF2600">-Make immigration procedures both through but sweet. </font> Emigration and customs are the first line of defense of any nation. It is essential that those working there are carefully selected, are given the prestige that they are due, and are the right personality types. People who tend to be introverted are less suited for this job than are extroverted people. Chatting and smiling are an essential part of security reconnaissance. Questions should be direct and to the point and accompanied by biometric and psychological profiles. These officials need to remember that they are both the protectors and greeters of tourism. These officials should be both careful and cautious, courteous and thorough.<br /> <br /> <font color="#FF2600">-Review all entry forms. </font> All too often entry forms either ask questions that make no sense or seem to have been placed there as a form of tourism harassment. Too many forms are hard to see, and almost impossible fill out especially while on a plane. The result is that people provide inaccurate information. It is better to get less information that is accurate than a great deal of inaccurate information. Do not duplicate questions and if the information is not necessary, then eliminate it. <br /> <br /> <font color="#FF2600">-Develop protocols for a foreign guest program.</font> There are two parts to foreign or guest worker programs. The first part is who should be accepted into such a program and the second part is how to we work with these foreign guests once they arrive.</p><blockquote><div> </div><div><font color="#942192">Step one</font></div><div><font color="#942192"> </font></div><div><font color="#FF4013">Do not depend on your government to identify problem people.</font> This means that it is the tourism industry’s responsibility to check everything from social media to reputation. A major task of human resources now needs to be finding the right people who are willing to uphold the guest nation’s values and also tourism values.</div><div> </div><div><font color="#E32400">Ask potential employees direct rather than hypothetical questions.</font> The more direct the question the better the chance to judge the person not only by his/her answers but also by the employee’s body language.</div><div> </div><div><font color="#FF4013">Do not prejudge people.</font> There are good and bad people in every nation, group, religion and gender. A woman is as capable as a man in being violent. Judge each person on his or her own merits</div><div> </div><div><font color="#FF4013">Watch for problems once the person is hired.</font> If something does not feel right examine and question. Use the same criteria that you would in evaluating any other form of work place violence and do not allow politically correct speech or actions color the way that you confront a potential threat.</div><div> </div><div><font color="#942192">Step Two</font></div><div><font color="#942192"> </font></div><div><font color="#FF4013">Make sure that the person is well integrated into the host society and help him fight off loneliness. </font> It is not easy to be a stranger in a strange land. Giving a paycheck is not enough. Make sure that the person has the opportunities to make friends and to experience the joys of his/her culture.</div><div> </div><div><font color="#E32400">Create a mentor or buddy program</font>. These programs not only add value to the guest workers experience but stop issues of alienation that may result in tragedies. The better the person is integrated into a host society the lesser the chance that the guest will consider harming his/her host culture.</div><div> </div></blockquote><blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><span><font color="#FF2600">Understand cultures.</font></span><span> </span><span>Often what may seem to be violent in one culture may not be in another culture.</span><span> </span><span>Although the foreign guest is obliged to live in accordance with</span><span> </span><span>the host</span><span> </span><span>society’s rules, cultural norms and law, a good understanding of our guest’s</span><span> </span><span>culture may avoid miscommunication and misunderstandings.</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"></div></div></div>Arizona Immigration Bill Hurts Tourism.

In fact the Kennedy-looking Christensen's web site touts him for US Senator saying, "Nevadans are on the same page as Chad Christensen when it comes to cracking down on illegal immigration."<br /><br />That's very bad news to Ralenkotter who pointed out that Nevada has the highest rate of unemployment in the United States (14%), and are desperate to protect their tourism revenue.<br /><br />Arizona tourism officials, woefully unprepared for the passage of their immigration bill, have urged tourism officials around the country to be very vigilant about immigration initiatives in their own states.<br /><br />Travel Weekly reports that at least five states (South Carolina, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Michigan) are considering tough immigration legislation which could have a devastating affect on their state's tourism dollars and tarnish their reputations.<br /><br />Obviously underlying all this is an increasingly compelling need for federal action, says the <a href="http://www.ahla.com">American Hotel and Lodging Association</a> . The controversies over the legislations and the "hit" tourism is taking in this time of enormous economic struggle make federal action critical, says the AHLA.<br /><br />In the case of Las Vegas, no one doubts that travel and tourism are the engines that drive the economy.<br /><br />But on the other hand, will attempts to block immigration ballot initiatives make the tourism officials look obstructionistic?<br /><br />Ralenkotter replies that they'll do anything they can to make sure (travel and tourism) jobs are protected.<br /><br />It's time for the federal government to step in and create a national immigration policy, and stop the loss of of vital tourism dollars.<br /><br />Follow New Media Travel and Kaleel on <a href="http://twitter.com/travelpostcard">Twitter</a><br /><br /></div>
