Most Pacific islands countries don't give Visas to expats unless they have skills in short supply locally (teachers, doctors etc) and even then you would only be paid a local salary. You would need an offer of work as well. Otherwise you would need to invest money in the country. | 1
carlyb1986 10:23 UTC 12 Dec 2010 | It's quite easy to get an Australian work/travel visa.. and since there are loads of backpackers/tourists, you'll meet oodles of people too! I'll be doing the same thing for our winter, their summer! | 2
