Yes there are a lot of requirements. You are probably not going to be allowed to practice there without an Aussie license so you will have to go to school there to some degree. And being of Asian descent you will be looked at very closely. The laws were changed several years ago with regard to asians immigrating to Oz - when it was learned that many chinese were paying people to marry so they could get into the country. Also there are bank account checks, criminal history and most visa need to be applied for before you leave your country of origin. It also helps if you have a job offer waiting for you in OZ. GOOD LUCK!!!

If you're already a Registered Nurse, provided you can obtain registration and can pass our skills assessment and points test and meet health and character requirements, you will be able to apply for a permanent visa for Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/medical-practitioners/nurses.htm http://nurseinfo.com.au/overseas http://www.anmc.org.au/ If you're not already an RN, you have no choice but to get nursing qualifications in your own country, or study here for them on a student visa. All Australian nursing training is university based. You can be a PR of as many countries as you wish, but in order to retain your Australian PR, you must spend at least 2 years out of every 5 actually living in the country. Oh, and the checking for Asians is no different from the checking for people of any other origin. Countries are either high or low risk and there are only 8 low risk countries (6 of which are Asian BTW). Australian immigration is completely non-discriminatory and equally qualified applicants have an absolutely equal chance of a visa, regardless of their origin.
