Good to note that this does not include the E3 visa available exclusively to Australians. Australia never uses its full allocation of 10,000 E3's each year and they are incredibly easy to get. the candidate simply needs a Bachelor's degree or higher as well as a job offer. If approved, their spouse is also instantly eligible for a E3 visa entitling them to work too.

Generally, it takes 2-4 weeks to get one from start to finish if you have a good immigration lawyer.

This sort of visa should not be exclusive to Australia. As an Aussie, I get the benefit from it but at the same time, I feel everyone should have access to it. I hope visa reform comes soon!

Anyone struggling to hire, big or small, should market to Australians. Its very cheap to fly out and interview a heap of smart candidates who would love to work for startups in the Bay Area.



Are you aware of the details of the free trade agreements Australia signed with the US? We paid our dues to the US, has to be some reciprocity.


> We paid our dues to the US

Indeed. You gave them a base from which to spy on Asia and Oceania. Should have negotiated visa-free entry for that alone.
