Does anyone know of any potential headaches with leaving most my savings accrued in Australian savings accounts and returning to the UK permanently? Part of me just wants to send it all back now via CurrencyFair and set up new savings accounts in the UK but the conversion rate is pretty bad at the moment so I was I was thinking of keeping it in AUD for the time being. Thanks

I asked about this in another post but cannot now find it so I'm going to be annoying and ask again..sorry. I'm leaving Australia (temp working visa will be cancelled in due course) and was wondering about Australian bank accounts (including savings accounts) and credit cards. Can these be kept open without any issues? Do I tell the bank that I am moving overseas or will they want to close my accounts. My primary reasons to want to keep them open is for transfer of super refund once available and to wait until the interest rate picks up a bit before transferring savings back to GBP. Also, my credit card is very good for overseas use and I plan on doing some travelling before settling in the UK. Thanks

Sorry that wasn't very clear. Is there a website where I can check the details of my visa?

Hi. I am currently working in Australia on a 457 (for nearly 3 years). I may need to go back to the UK for a year in a few months time. Is it possible to start a PR application (189) whilst I am here and continue it when back in the UK?

Is there a website where you can check what your 457 visa role is provided? I'm not 100% sure what mine is and am going through the same thing!
