Ah I see.

This is all a bit confusing!

Heads ps all over the place just now

I'm also in the same boat and can relate to a lot of these points.

My delema is I think getting my citizenship should be a priority but I really don't know if I can stay another 2years

So when you say I would have to apply for another visa after the rrv runs out...is that the whole process again? Ie; idlts, skills tests etc??

Was here on a 2 year WHV in 2008/2009. Came back November 2013

No just came back down on a PR and it's been 2years

I have been a pr here in Australia for 2years. When can I apply for citizenship?

Thanks

Been here over 2 years yes.

As mentioned above , things can change down the track, but if I was to go back to the UK and not return in that 5year period, can I extend it?

or if I was to enter oz during the 5years and potentially leave again, can I get another 5year extension?

i realise the citizenship is the best prion but he way I'm feeling right now I can't stay another year or 2 to get it

thabks all for your comments

So how long does the rrv last? Is it hard to get one?

Thinking of heading back to the UK after Xmas.

I I originally thought it be best if I stay to get my citizenship so that I can come back if I hoose later down true track, but I now believe I can do hat anyway on a PR

can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

cheers

So will be 2 1/2 years I've been in is as a PR if I leave in February like I am kind of planning in my head.

Its slightly worrying -( if that's the word) that I may not be back here again.

My heads in a pickle

Head is sometimes here. Heart definetly in scotland

So your still here in oz pal?

i have no partner/girlfriend/wife, and no kids. Sister lives here wih her husband and 3 girls and if I do go back to scotland then I miss them growing up. Tough one

Hit the nail on the head for me there wattsty

missibg friends of 20 years, football and the sorts.

Tough one one but can't help thinking I'm wanting to move back after all the effort to get here

Least amount of cost.

cheers

As above.

Whats the best and easiest way without charges if possible

After how long did most people decide it wasn't for them

As above.

Whats ts everyone main reasons for going back to the uk

and does anyone regret coming here then going back after all we have had to go through (ilet's/skills tests etc)

Any chippies bothered shipping back power tools and the sort?

Worth doing? What's the shipping cost approx and approx duration?

ta

But if said person was to return to oz to live in a couple of years?

or a holiday even.... What would happen there?

Has anyone moved away from oz leaving debt ie; bank loan behind?

what would happen?

and what would happen if you decided to move back down to Australia in a few years

cheers
