      I know for New Zealand you need to be under 56. But then again, no one should be still having to work over the age of 50. If you are, you ****ed up big time.

        Might get in with too much wedge option.

          Do you have a younger partner with a desirable skill? Then you can go as a plus one.

            Are you single, do you have a desirable skill, do you like older men and have you ever fancied emigrating?

            If you can answer YES to all those, PM me.

              Suggestions, brickbats & abuse welcome.

                now that would be really changing my life

                Not into snails!

                The wife might object as well.

                She is younger, has many desirable skills however most can't be put on a Visa application.

                    You should check as the list changes all the time for work related ones. Though she may not like Oz....
