You dont get a tourist visa for 1 year, the max you can get is a 6 month visa that is if you are sponsored by a relative here, you come in on 1 month visit and then u can extend that to another 5 months. Second option would be for you to just come in on a company sponsor if you secure a job from your home country. Thirdly would be for you to get married and come on your hubby's sponsorship.

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)
