Hey there , as very stormy says, the Aussis do not acknowledge basically any Uk tickets, even electricians have to be re licensed and trained. Getting your tickets here are easy and i have obtained a quite few. The Aussies love certification and struggle to get through the day without saying'the words " qualified'' lol

Been in Perth 3 and half years and decided to return to The UK as its seriously expensive here and not for everyone....Theres a downturn at the moment. When i was in the UK i worked 4 days a week and my wife didnt work through choice. Theres no way we could do that in Perth. good luck with the move:wink:

just a quick one ,im on a 176 skilled migrant and permanent resident. Our savings have nearly run out and we have to go back to blighty . Does anyone know how long we have before we have to reapply. We qualify for citizenship this October but simply cant afford to hang on, shame i know. Is it 5 years ? All help appreciated.

Good job your not in Perth lol , its the land that time forgot........

good call snifter......this post could o gone wild lol:chatterbox:

Im off back to Leeds soon..:wink:

When we came 4 years ago people were bidding for the rental, even if you got it people would ring up the agent afterwards and out bid you!! As stated rentals are easy at the minute and even negotiable. B e prepared for 70s themed decor and agents who make al capone look like a kindergarten worker. We did a walk through with videos and noted every thing. Also upon arrival no one would entertain us because of no work history,we even offered 6 months rent up front. After renting a holiday let for a while we built up a bit of history. Gumtree perth is good for private Landlords.... good luck

Thanks for the tips everyone , I can't click the like button Coz it's gone anyone tell me where it's gone lol, not been on for a while

October this year , i realize we gotta get it, too much invested here to not get it

Hey there and thanks, its a possibility. Moving again seems daunting, especialy if we move and then decide its not for us,thats 2 moves maybe more, anyway we got two boys one is on apprentice, hell probably stay ,our youngest finds Perth boring which i agree on to an extent. Winters are tough. Mentally all over the place at the mo. Yes well probably try for citizenship first, silly not to

Well after nearly 4 years here in Perth and fighting all the way i think we are going to have to go back to the Uk. We simply cant afford to keep living here. Im in construction which is on its back side.We are mentally,physically knackered ,living in 70s rentals for hollywood prices and Columbo themed decor.Never worked as hard in my life y Any tips on what you did when you went back, what would you have done differently. PLEASE no Aus v the UK . it goes nowhere fast :wink:

Thanks snifter forgot about direct line they are pretty good, cheers

Hey guys not been on for a while, after much thought and working like a lunatic and getting nowhere im going back to the UK for a working stint. Construction is slow here in Perth and cost of living is killing us, Anyway, I have a letter from my last car insurer indicating my holding of No claims bonus. Does anyone know of a good insure who will recognize this as my old insurer says as it lapsed over 2 years ago they wont recognize it. Any tips on going back appreciated, Ps I have only had rego insurance here and yes I know its risky Please no debates aus v uk- been there done that:wink:

Hi guys not been on for a while .wondered if any have kept there house here in aus and rent it out, Just looking at scenarios, if we go back to the uk we wont be able to buy due Perth fleecing us of everything, any advice helps, PLEASE no AUS verses the UK, ttfn

im in construction and it aint good, And yes the mitchell freeway is still a carpark, good luck

Dear all, can anyone shed light on timelines for citizenship.We have been here for 2 years and 3 months. Before we came like many we came on a reccie thus validating our permanant resident visas. Does our 4 year time begin when we validated the visas or when we actually moved here 2.3 years ago. Thanks for your help

Yes they are the older one particularly he finds it a bit polarized etc, itll be something we all consider together

then kids are 15 and 11, we should ask the older one because he knows everything lol, i will check for jobs in Brisbane

Its great to get helpful opinions, and those that have had similar experiences. I dont want tto give up. we have been here over 2 years Thanks for all the constructive help

i like the East coast,always did, i only came to Perth as i was sent here. Its something to think about. I think that the wifes conscious of uprooring the kids again

No we havent , we only have enough resources to move back if that goes were up the creek, i suppose thats why im worried, construction forecast doesnt look good im afraid

Ok back to topic. Any advice from people who have moved state from perth to elswhere would be gratefully appreciated.:wink:
