  1. That's what I was told, although I was starting to question if I'd remembered correctly! I would like to have it sorted before I get back as we might not have access to internet quickly, we need to hit ground running when we get back so proof of address will essential. I followed the link for doing it online and you can select living in Australia and have to give no further address details and have to give no further proof. My main issue is that you're meant to be in UK to apply, so I'm think use a vpn to hide location and do it as we leave. We have 2 weeks in Portugal on way back so it should be there when we arrive after that, any issues I will play dumb Thanks everyone
  2. I want to change the address to the house we will be living in when we move back, so don't need it posted to me here. The address is our house now and will be empty at the time I get it sent so it can be there waiting. The question isn't about the address I'm changing it to but where do I say I've been living for the last 3 years. I don't know if it matters if I put Australia or if I have to say the address last registered to my licence. Because the online information assumes you have been living in UK in that time
  3. We are finally returned to UK in April 2016 and I'm compiling my to do list We have UK drivers licences with 2 years left on them. We didn't advise the DVLA of our change in address as I was told I didn't need to. I want to change the address to the house we will be living in before we get back. So that it will waiting for us when we get back. I'm thinking for proof of address/ID purposes. I can change it online, the information on the DVLA website says that you have to give your address for the last 3 years and have to live in the UK to do it I know I won't live in the UK at that time but will do a few weeks later. So for my address in the last 3 years do I put my Australian address or the last UK address my licence was registered at? Anyone done this whilst still in Australia or even when first back? Thanks
  4. would you be hit with taxes on a car you shipped from the UK in the first place, I suspect the age of my car means leaving it is sensible, but being an import could reduce the price I can sell for, plus it was my dads car so sentimental and a car I could never afford
  5. I applied 23rd November, test/interview was 2 weeks later, immediately we had a 2 week holiday booked, 2 weeks back and then another 2 weeks away, application was approved 15th December for, 5th Jan for the hubby and test date is 13th April. That's in perth, we can still travel in and out until then, after that we need to get the passport but as people have said it can be rush through I too was unsure, but it takes the time pressure of an expiring visa away, gives us time to see if we're happy being back and gives us options in the future
  6. I'm ACCA and it has been OK for me here, what I would suggest though is thoroughly access if there is work here for you, I came 4 years ago, my visa was fast tracked as a critical skill yet I struggled to find work with 20 years experience. The job notifications I get in my inbox are about 25% less for Perth than 4 years ago
  7. Very aware of this official stance, but I know as in met in person two people on 175 visas who got their super back, its a grey area when trying to find info but once you are back in UK, with an expired visa, no way to get a RRV and no ties to Oz, you can get it back
  8. So we don't need a visa even if he is paid via their payroll over here? We want the RRV to give us the ability to return if we don't settle back. Working for his current employer is just something that came up.
  9. disagree I have 2 friends on PR who got their uper back once their years PR had expired with no way back, no ties to here they got it back after tax However my post is not looking for advice on that
  10. Hi Does anyone having experience of carrying on working for your Australian employer after moving back to UK? Visa- we have PR intend to get RRV for 5 years before returning, after that expires would we be able to carry on working or do we need citizenship (not wanting this is linked to getting super back) Tax implications? Thanks
  11. May 2015 if we stick to savings plan
  12. One that gets me is when they say Gday, how you doing, its not a question and they won't take offence if you don't answer but if you do it has to be a postitive, and they usually won't answer when you say good, and how are you back I have semi re-educated my all Aussie work colleagues as to why I struggle with this one and they usually now respond back when I ask I
  13. <p><p>Hey, didn't want to post this on you post about going home, im going home to. Are you on facebook? I can put you in touch with friends who have gone back for loads of advice and no oz lovers jumping in, tried to pm you but can't</p></p>

  14. <p>Its not a problem at all, maybe you could send me a private message if you need any advice, mainly because then i will know I have a message, posting on here relys on me logging on which i don't do so often these days and I might miss yourpost. It was scary for us but we got there in the end! Rose</p>

  15. <p>Sorry should have said you have to get it done through solicitors</p>

    <p>Hi gary</p>

    <p>Not on poms in oz so much now, there is no form you fill in. When IMMI asked for the medicals we did a stat dec which is a set legal format stating why we couldn't get the kids to do the medical. That will cover their passport photos etc Hope that helps, let me know if you need any further info. Regards</p>
