Nice one Alan Thank you I am still on the look out for a further 50%:smile:

Hi Still in the UK, arriving in Perth on Visa class 190. Do you know of any allowances which I would be able to take advantage of should I dispose of the shares within the ISA wrapper after arriving in oz? Thanks Nigel

Thanks Mimi Looks like there is no escape :-)

Hi Mimi I hope you can assist me with some information. I hold shares within the ISA (tax free) in the UK and am moving to Oz in 2 months. Would you know whether capital gains tax would be payable when I sell the shares after becoming Oz resident? Can I still enjoy taxfree status of the shares as a Oz resident? Thanks Nigel

Hi Andy Many thanks for your reply. I guess I will have to make a decision very soon. Dont fancy paying tax in the future. Nigel

Hi I hold shares within the ISA and am moving in 2 months. Would anyone know whether capital gains tax would be payable in Oz when I sell the shares after becoming Oz resident? Once I l have the UK, does it mean the ISA has lost its tax free status? Comments most appreciated. Thank you Nigel

Thank you for detailed info.

I have experienced them and they do keep me awake!! Agrreed, water is the culprit! I guess, summer eve are a feast for the mossies.

During which months do you see them? Will I need to sleep under a net?

Hi Appreciate if someone could shed light on mossies. Are they widely common in Perth and surrounding areas? During which months are they a real pest? I have heard of some breed that make a terrible noise preventing people from sleeping at night, is this true of the oz mossies? Any other info. Thank you Regards Nigel

Thanks Yeah, I am in London. I guess the those costs would be the same then except for housing which would be cheaper in Perth. Do you concur?

Well the EOI should take 3 -6 months and thereafter do the application. Maybe change of career once I am in Perth. Do you whether cost of living in Perth is very expensive compared to other cities?

Thanks Bungo for the informative response. Still in 2 heads about the migration decision!!

Thanks Captain C what other conditions woud be attached to the visa?

Fortunately still under 50 and hop to make the EOI soon. What other conditions are there?

Hi Christian Many have mentioned on this website that Perth cost of living is much higher than other cities. Can you please shed some light whether this is true or not? Thanks

Thanks, Captain Do you know anyone who has done this?

I can apply and attain 60 points for a valid application. My only concern would be getting tied down to the state for 2 years, unless anyone knows otherwise.

Thanks, I am able to secure 60 points to make an application. The only issue then is tied down to the state for 2 years. Is it mandatory to reside in the state for 2 years, has anyone moved earlier?

Many people have mentioned about the high cost of living in Perth. Any one has info comparing it with other cities. Thanks

Hi You stated '' Strategy in place for that around making sure i have firm enough ties to obtain an RRV as and when I need it. Can you please elaborate? What do they mean by enough ties? Is it difficult to obtain RRV? Thanks Nigel

Hi I am a qualified Accountant. Looks like I might just be able to scrap through with the age restriction. Anyone with info in WA would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thanks everyone. Probably take the 190 route as time frame is much better which allows me to plan the entire move.

Hi What exactly did you feel wan't right for you in oz?
