Sorry my confusion, I meant partner visa oops. Great advice, thank you for your help, much appreciated! Kind regards, Nic

HAHA yeah i did wonder about the Head is a Shed quote after sending it haha.:laugh: Ok, but if she went through the agency to enable her to work straight away, then once settled can we lodge a BVA? Sorry because of so many restritions we are trying to go about it in the most cost effective and efficient way. So trying to gain the right info to move forward. Unfortunately i am still a student so will be looking for a graduate Occupational Therapy job this time next year (pref in oz), so funds are tight at the min! Nic

Thanks Richard, What about if i change it in the UK, unfortunately i have to renew my UK passport anyway, as it runs out next year, so i was going to do Aussi one after that? Everything is in my married name now except both passports? As for my wife, the reason why we are looking to go with an agency (Alliance Health) as she is a qualified nurse....but typically misses the skilled visa age. Alliance assures us that they will get work/visa etc, due to the urgency for nurses in the area my wife specialises in. Which we thought would get her there, then once we settle would apply for her residency etc??? My head is a shed as i keep coming upon obstacles...we are hoping to go out before next Dec, but may not be where i was born, is this another obstacle? Sorry to blag your head too lol. Nic

Thanks for info, now a little bit more... My uk and Aussi passports need name changes as I got married last year, and it's a same sex marriage. Is this going to be difficult? I know same sex marriage is not legal over there. Also the spouse or defacto visas are so expensive, my wife is looking at going over with a healthcare agency that will provide work visa etc. Are these a good way of gaining residency eventually? (Thank you in advance for help)!

Hi, just a query, I am an aussi citizen, with aussi passport that i gained 5 years ago with the intention to travel my home country after 40 years absence. I am just about to gain my degree in Occupational Therapy, so was aiming to go then........My query is, i will need to change both my Uk and aussi passport as i am married now, (my wife is applying with a health care agency) but when we go to aussi, will i just be able to use my passport and need nothing else to live in the country???

Thanks, were off to workininoz expo in march so should get plenty of help there too x

i know :0(

We have lived together about three years now and are both uk citizens, I got my aussi citizenship a few yrs ago though as I was born there, but havnt been back over yet. I just looked at defacto visa its soooo expensive!

Hi there, Can anyone offer advice.........My wife and I are looking to move over from UK to Aussi in the near future. My wife will be a qualified nurse this year and I will qualify as an OT next year. I have aussi citizenship and an aussi passport , will my wife need a defacto visa or skilled worker? Thanks Nicole

inboxed you

Ok will do that, and thanks for input.

Thanks

Thanks for info, maybe they need to go the working visa holiday route to start with.

At the moment two are at home with us, the eldest works part time in retail. The other son has just quit the arm, so he could be back too if he doesn't get a new job lol it's all a bit of a mush mash. But need to know what we need when we start the process. I have a passport so I know I'm ok and my wife will be a reg nurse in a year.

Hi there, one is going to university next year(18) the other two are over 22yrs

Hi, they will be all over 18

Hi, thanks I hope so!

Hi everyone, :smile:my wife and I are planning to move over to aussi in the near future as a new nurse and occupational therapist, but I also have dual nationality. My wife's kids however I think will need visas, buut how does it work if we are both not a citizen. Can anyone help?

Thanks to all of you, i will check it out......gotta weigh up and look at the easiest/best options as I live in uk also at the moment. My partner has just gone into the health care industry as a phlebotamist so we are hoping that bodes well.

Thanks think the older boyswill have to apply seperate as one in the army and other isnt in education, Does age matter if your going via partner visa. My partner seems to think shecant go to Oz past the age of 45 but i think thats a bit far fetched??

Ok thanks for help x

Hi everyone, Im looking for info if you can help...........I have aussi citizenship and passport, looking to move back in next couple of years with my fiancee and her children, her children are 15, 19 and 21. We are 40 and 43. Any hints or tips with best visa route to go?? I find it baffling as there are so many ways to apply! Will she still need relevent job skills they ask for? Am i best to move out first? Do we need x amount of funds in the bank?? Any help would be appreciated thanks x:biggrin:
