ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm asking this question in reverse this is about Thais getting work visa's to go to Australia , I own a company and employ many foreigners in Australia on WHV but my partner is thai and I would really like to get her brother to Australia to work for me, even if it is only a short period, I've asked Australian solicitors and they tell me Australia has no agreement with thailand so the old 457 doesn't apply and never met a thai on a WHV am I missing an obvious solution to this issue ??

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking alternatives for bringing a Thai citizen, specifically the brother of their Thai partner, to Australia for work, noting that traditional methods like the 457 visa may not be applicable due to the lack of agreements between Thailand and Australia. Comments highlight ongoing developments in visa agreements and suggest exploring different visa types.
