      VISA 143 to 864

      By Tulip1 · Posted

      Have you considered the 870? You can get a maximum of 2 of these at 5 years duration each.  That would likely see you through to grant of your 143.  You do have to leave Australia after one and stay offshore for 90 days but that aside it might work for you.  Please do speak to a professional though before doing something that may not be your best option (I am no expert)  Alan who has commented above is a highly regarded migrant agent.  You’d do well to reach out to him.

      Used cars Townsville area?

      By RubyMonday · Posted

      I'm looking at used cars since I've seen Australia is also having the problem of long wait times when ordering new, currently 7-9 months in UK. I'm wondering if anyone recommends any places in the Townsville area. I'll need to get a car asap when I arrive to not waste money hiring one for an extended time. Also any recommendations on types of cars to get? I've been reccommended to go with Japanese, Korean or Australian makes. I'm used to driving a Toyota Yaris Cross and wouldn't mind a similar self charging hybrid or maybe just the regular Yaris. I'll be living in Charters Towers and work commute will only be max 5-10mins plus trips to Townsville and the local area. The roads are all sealed I think so assuming I don't need a 4/AWD.

      State pension/tax coding

      By Judy · Posted

      Why is the OP getting a tax code from HMRC? He states that he hasn't had a rise in his state pension in the five years since he's been in Australia. (which we don't). So you would assume he is tax resident in Australia. I don't think we have the full facts and he may need advice from a tax agent.
