Our 489 Visa has been granted, Yippee! And I have secured a job north of Adelaide, starting in 6 weeks.
So I'm going into panic mode - what do I do first? What can I do from the UK to be more prepared when we arrive? Who would you recommend banking with? Getting health insurance through? I will need to buy a car (not worried about it being anything too special but reliable) - we have clean UK full driving licenses will this be OK? I've heard people recommend getting proof of no claims bonus for car insurance for the UK, so I'm guessing this can carry over in a way? Am I right in thinking we cannot get our TFN until we are on Australian soil? We are hoping to have some temporary accommodation through my work when we first arrive, however will need to rent somewhere for a while - do we need references etc. for this?
We don't plan on bringing too much with us so looking at Move cubes and trying to sell/give away various items we are definitely not bringing. The dogs have had their moving plans organised and in motion.
Any advice will be greatly received! Thanks!
