They will be boilermakers/pipe fitters, trade certificate is something like MEM3xxxx.

All over Australia is crying out for anyone with a trade TBH. I'm in WA but am leaving for Queensland (I'm a plater by trade but boilermaker here) 

If teaching is anything like most other profetions here, not much different but seem to work more!!

My daughter back in rhe Uk has just turned 18 and she is now able to come and live with me and my wife, does anyone have experice of getting a child put onto. PR visa? 

We have been here 6 years now and are in the process of applying for citizenship 

Thanks in advance 

 Chris 

Well done

Doh! I should have unsubscribed from this thread, !!

All in all, if you think the mass emigration that has happened to England and Europe over the past 20 years is a good thing then you are floolish and if you get your way your children deserve all that you have made for them. If you wish the same for Australia being, able to see what has happened to the mother land then more fool you and Im sure you will fail. I will now leave this thread to talk about fishing somewhere.

Have you been there recently? you would be lucky to travel the out skirts and not get robbed, raped, groomed etc., and I don't mean just to the tourist places, when was the last time you saw a cockney? you dont see them no more gone and wiped out or shipped out. The immigrants dont speak English and they don't work; as far as the benefits Que shows or they do work and they skrew the system for all they can get.

Its 1 place I will never miss is London, its only good for immigrants (illegal or not, gun toting robbers and super rich oil shieks who can afford to avoid the working class)

Sorry Im not yet in Australia I was talking from a UK point of view, the insight he has about Britain is not hard to see you just have to have visited the place 20 odd years ago then visit it again today. So I think the Doctor was very insightful.

The problem with most illegal immigrants and asylum seekers is, they come to a country and have absolutely no intention of assimilating into that countries ways and customs or contributing. They forget that they have fled a sh*t hole and they try to create that same sh*t hole in their new country. Before the marxist left jump on me I know not all asylum/illegals are like this but a very high percentage are and they all seam to be from the same culture. I was talking to a doctor of Indian decent over a few beers the other night in Melaka and he had been around the word a bit in his time, used to love England but he could tell how the country has been effected for the worse by the amount of immigration from the 3rd world, he was also worried about all the immigration Malaysia is receiving from China and its neighbours.

I think most airlines will increase your baggage to 40kg just for emigrating, SP air did it for us in December. You need to call them 1st and ask about it.

Why is it in the UK Labour flooded the country with immigrants just to bolster their political position, whilst in Oz Labour doesn't do the same?.

Well we got off great on the 11th from heathrow, a day before the plane on fire:). Arrived in Malaysia the on to KL. KL is an amazing place and the food is cheep and can't be beaten that's if you like Chinese food which we do. The hawkers street has been our 2nd home. We were advised while here to visit Melaka and that's where I'm writing this from, for us this is prob the worst place ever, except now sat outside the blues bar owned by a Kiwi. The food seams to be substandard and there in not a lot to do and see, never again. We arrive in Perth on the 23rd and ill keep you posted how we go.

Safe journey and wishing you a good holiday in Malaysia and of course a great new adventure in Perth.

 

We are headed over there in 12 weeks so not long now for us either.

Thank you, we will keep you all updated on our progress and if anyone is up for a meet up and a few drinks that would be great.

We bought one of those mattress that is firmer on 1 side and soft on the other, me and the other half are a bit like little and large so I have the firm side and she has the other. Cost us about £1k for just the mattress but was well worth it and its in the container coming with us.

The only thing that is bothering me is that all my fishing tackle is in the container and it wont be in Freo until the 8th of August.

Good luck chris, hope everything goes smoothly for you. Where are you heading to?

 

Edited to say: just seen your signature. Perth?

We have 10 days in KL then 6 weeks rental in Perth Duncraig.

We fly out on Thursday, we can't wait. Roll on new life in Oz.

I believe perth is dearer than London, but if London was to be found dearer you have to take into acoount London is a global city, not a dusty old mining town in the middle of no where.

It sounds like you have never been to Perth, I was expecting it to be as you describe but I was very pleased when we got there and it is a clean modern city with plenty going on. Now London, I wouldnt spend anymore time there than absolutely necessary its a horrible dirty, crime ridden place.

Yes references from clients with details of past jobs are needed, it would be better is these clients are also registered business. These were needed by me as I was self employed but my visa is the old 176. It cant hurt to get as much ammo as possible.

Thanks for that info lebouvellec, I think we will only be in a position to choose private or medicare once we have jobs and can see where we will stand with the levy, do you know how it would work if we as a couple earned under the threshold of $176k and we took out private cover. I cant see anything about this on the site.

Nab offer a foreign currency - http://www.nab.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/nab/nab/home/business/1/5/6/#tab1 as do anz and commonwealth I think. Need to look at the smallprint for them all though as the monthly fees are quite high on some, minimum balance high on some etc.

I have a NAB account but unfortunately I am not a business customer so I cannot use this account and they done seam to want to reply to my emails.

Interesting point - does the deposit guarantee cover you when you are non resident? Whichever country you leave it in, you would be wise to spread your money out between banks. There is as much chance of an Oz bank going bust as there is a British bank.

I never thought of it that way, I presumed the Oz banks were quite solid, I suppose we should seek some financial advise when we arrive.

I would just like it in Oz rather than the Uk, thing have a better chance of going **** up in the Uk and us loosing money.

Mmm looks like no one one here knows anything about medical insurance, if id have asked what your favourite tv program was then there would have been pages upon pages of replies.

I wouldn't worry about that if i was you.
