Hallo Isabelle, My name is Sahar Naseri. I am 19 years old and I live in Kabul, Afghanistan. I lost my family 5 years before. I have one sister. She is 14 years old. I was in the 9th class when Taliban came to Afghanistan. Me and my sister we want to go to school and make our future. Do you know of some possibility how to go in some another country to make our future? It would be very nice of you how guide us how to apply a visa in a safe country to make our future. Sahar Naseri

The PEV ballot hasn't opened yet, so there is no way you could have registered yet. Make sure you weren't scammed. The PEV ballot opens June 3. You will certainly have a chance if you enter the ballot, and it won't affect your PALM application.

The government hasn't sent yet how long you will have to secure a job. Whether if you don't get a job quickly enough you can try again the next year is another unknown. These are really interesting questions, and we'll try and find out answers asap. We're expecting more information about those "stage 2" (post-ballot) requirements to be released soon.

Thank you for the article. this article is very outstanding for my understanding because of the reasons which are stated about the effect of polygamy marriage in PNG. It can indeed be considered as a social evil. Polygamy marriage in PNG is the cause of the g works of the devil in the lives of young people, especially young girls. Thank you

"Birds of the same feather flock together" a pretty impressive story of you twos. love that

Hello, I'm from PNG, I applied for the Palm seasonal work scheme two months ago,I'm still waiting for my call, currently this month, I registered for the PEV,,,do you think I have a chance for the PEV,,,or is it gonna affect my palm application,,, please reply, thank you.

Hi Stephen, if you miss out on the eight months to secure a job, will they extend the due date of your application in 2025?

Hi Natasha, I agree PNG Access Category would be a great idea. However, for it to get off the ground, PNG would first have to show strong demand for the 1,350 PEV visas it has been allocated. Given the difficulty of getting a passport in PNG and the fact that a passport is required to enter the ballot I am very worried on this front. Regards, Stephen

The ballot itself only costs $25 to enter. Those who want to migrate will have to fund their air fares, but the cost of that will depend on so many factors, e.g. whether they are migrating by themselves or with their family, that it is hard to give an estimate. If the applicant with the job offer can't afford to bring their family, they can migrate on their own and then bring out their family once they have saved the air fare.

These checks (language, character and health) will only apply to those who are successful in the ballot. They are not required to enter the ballot. I don't think they will be too hard to meet. I understand that details will be released shortly.

Thank you so much for sharing this very valuable information here. It's really helpful for some of us to fully understand the content relating to the appointment of prime minister in our political system. Really appreciate it!!
