I am in same boat. How old are you? I would say get in the queue for the 143, do 2 x 870 and hope visa granted by then. That is my plan. Some agents will do free initial consult so maybe talk to Allan collect of go mayilda or one of the others who are on this forum. Good luck.

You have to be 67 to apply for the 864.

No bridging visa for 143 unfortunately. Only choice if under 67 is 870 or 600 where you do 12 in 18 months.

What about revolut? Has anyone used this for large sums?

Thanks Wesley. I have consulted two mara registered agents.

Just about to apply for the 143 visa. I am inclined to use an agent (mara registered) but want to get an idea of whether most people use an agent or not and your recommendations based on your experience. Do agents generally charge an ongoing fee while waiting on the visa to be approved?

I understand that they have changed the quarantine period for dogs to 30 days unless something is stamped by an official government veterinarian. The website says they are in negotiations about this. Does anyone know if they have agreed anything for Ireland?

Am trying to get money to apply for the 143 through an agent. I know it will take years but am looking for an updated estimate if possible.

Areas like redcliffe, Scarborough, Margate, all have beaches. Sandgate is a lovely village along seafront not great beach but nice.

Holiday booked for December. Going for a month to visit family. When do I need to apply for the visitor visa and which on. Coming from Ireland. Thanks in advance.

At what stage do you pay the AOS for the 143 visa?

Thanks Ken. Am exploring feasibility of going on the 870 (having applied for the 143 first). So we would be there temporarily pending the outcome of the 143 visa. As that visa is likely to take much longer we would end up having to go hope or be on a visitor visa for part of the time. We would probably rent out our house as I would not sell unless I had a permanent visa. As to pension possibly $45 to 50 k per year depending on exchange rate.

I presume if you are on a 600 visa and there for a year you do not pay any tax. If you are on the temporary parent visa and getting a pension from Ireland would this be liable to tax or is there a double taxation agreement with Ireland? If so how much?

Anyone currently living in queensland on either 600 or temporary parent visa who could advise on what they pay for health cover? Would be 60 and 62 no major health issues but on thyroid and cholesteral tablets? Just researching what money we would need. From Ireland so think can only get reciprocal cover for 12 months.

Thanks Marissa that is part of my post. How much income is required, what is cost of health insurance etc. We are from Ireland and my pension won't be frozen, do I pay tax in Ireland or Australia? Is there reciprocal agreement so some health is covered. We would not buy until permanent or would get son to buy.
