In need of guidance
Hello, I’m Tanlaka Bertine Burinyuy from Cameroon, and I’m excited to express my interest in relocating to Australia. With 10 years of experience as a cashier, I possess excellent cash handling skills, attention to detail, and strong customer service abilities.
I’m eager to bring my skills and experience to Australia and explore new opportunities. I’m open to challenging roles and willing to learn and adapt to new industries and environments.
Australia’s diverse culture, stunning landscapes, and high standard of living have always fascinated me. I’m drawn to the country’s values of inclusivity, innovation, and opportunity.
I’d appreciate guidance on the relocation process, including visa requirements, job opportunities, and any necessary certifications or training.
Thank you for considering my aspirations. I look forward to hearing from you and taking the first step towards making my Australian dream a reality.

Hey Tanlaka and welcome to our little cummunity, here on the Web. ☺️
In Australia, the role of a cashier is classified under ANZSCO code 631112. This classification is essential when considering visa options, as it determines eligibility for certain skilled migration programs.
Visa Options:
1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions they cannot fill locally. However, securing employer sponsorship as a ccashierwill be very challenging due to the high availability of local candidates for this role.
2. General Skilled Migration (GSM):
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): A points-tested visa for individuals whose occupations are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). Unfortunately, the occupation of cashier is not currently listed on the MLTSSL, making this pathway less feasible.
Exploring New Opportunities:
Given the challenges associated with migrating as a cashier, I recommend you might consider leveraging your skills in related fields or pursuing additional qualifications that are in higher demand in Australia.
For instance, roles in office administration, customer service management, or financial services may offer more opportunities and align with your experience in cash handling and customer interaction.
I hope this helps. Please ask more questions if you have them.
All the best

Thank you very much for responding on time. Everything being equal, I will not mind going in for sales assistant jobs or office assistant.
Could you please give me a step by step guide on how to go about it?
Note (the only thing that I know so far about migration is that you need to have an international passport).

Hi Tanlika, I may have confused you using the term administration. 😵💫
The thinking behind my recommendation was to gain experience in these fields with the eventual aim of transitioning into roles such as Office Manager or Customer Service Manager.
Both these roles could open pathways to Australian visas, provided you meet specific criteria.
Here’s an overview tailored to these occupations:
1. Occupation Classification and Eligibility:
Office Manager (ANZSCO 512111): This role involves organizing and controlling office functions and resources. It’s listed on the Regional Sponsor Migration Scheme (RSMS) and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa lists.
Customer Service Manager (ANZSCO 149212): This position entails planning and managing customer service operations. It’s currently on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), making it eligible for certain visa streams.
2. Relevant Visa Options:
Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): A state-nominated permanent visa for skilled workers whose occupations are in demand in specific Australian states or territories.
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): A provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by a state or territory to live and work in regional Australia.
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Allows employers to sponsor skilled workers when they cannot find an appropriately skilled Australian.
So in short, time might be required on your side before you might be ready for your application.

Thank you for being so explicit. Could you please guide me on how to go about the application?

No worries. 🙂
At a high level.
Skills Assessment: Obtain a positive skills assessment from the relevant authority, such as VETASSESS for Customer Service Managers.
English Proficiency: Demonstrate competent English language skills through tests like IELTS or TOEFL.
Expression of Interest (EOI): Submit an EOI via SkillSelect, indicating your interest in migrating to Australia and specifying your desired visa category.
State or Employer Nomination: Depending on the visa requirements, seek nomination from an Australian state, territory, or employer.
Considerations:
Regional Opportunities: Some roles may require living and working in designated regional areas.
Visa Conditions: Ensure you understand each visa type’s specific conditions and obligations.
Given the complexities of Australian immigration law, you may wish to consult with a registered migration agent or the Department of Home Affairs for personalised guidance.
I hope this helps
