Would you happen to know if I can get a work visa? My husband has the two year Iec work visa and I have a 2yr visitor visa? I am 31 so I didn't qualify for the iec visa. Is it only lmia visa I can go for which is just restaurants and tourism etc?

Did you find anywhere for your answer? I need to know if I can work as a sub contractor on an iec open work visa.
