Our cat have just landed in Melbourne. Fairly sure it cost us between 4-4.5k We used Petair, who have been amazing btw. The process takes 6-7months, so be mindful of that.

Hi, We emigrate to QLD from the UK next month, and we're massive Disney fans and have made several trips to Florida over the last 2 decades. Has anyone made the trip to Florida from the Eastcoast of Australia? I know you can fly 13 hours to California, but Disney California is not Florida. I've been checking flights, and you can fly via Dallas or San francisco. Regardless of which city we fly too it's a good d20-24hr trip to get their. Thanks for reading.

Yes we have, but still have stuff to pack. Just stressed and doubting myself.

We’re have a large move cube booked for the 2nd October, worried now that it’s not big enough. I wonder is we can order a small one to arrive on the same day.

Hi, yes I have shares. I thought this would be the case, our accountant is currently in discussion with my sisters accountant in Brisbane, Fingers crossed they don't take too much, it's my deposit on a new home. Appreciate your help and advice.

I'm getting a percentage from the sale of the business after it's sold. But this will happen serveral months after I've left. I can assure you there's nothing dubious or dodgey going on.

I understand I cannot avoid tax, but this sum will be given to me several months after I leave the UK. So I will not be employed by that employer. I'm just trying to understand what slice the Australian goverment will take when the funds are transferred to an Australian bank account.

Gift from the Company im leaving. It's basically for long service.

Hi, Will this be taxed by the Australian government? Many thanks,

Many thanks for the quick reply, may I ask who you used for shipping?

Hi again, I know Australia is strict on bring wood in, but I presume frames pictures that have a wood frame will be ok?

My mother and father in law said we’re ruining their lives by moving down under. it’s your life, so do what’s right for you.

I see the DPD form requires you supply a negative PCR test within 72 hours of departure, OR a medically supervised RAT test within 24hrs of departure? https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/covid19/digital-passenger-declaration Any advice would be appreciated.

My wife applied last week, but we’ve heard nothing. Not even an email acknowledgment. Is it normal to not get any form of confirmation?

I see they’ve changed the initial travel date from 3 months to are you travelling within 12 months now.

Flying into Brisbane from the UK, then having to quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks.

Any idea on when the 2 week quarantine will end?

Please don't laugh. But can I take quite a large Ammonites fossiil that I have since I was a boy? I presume as long as it has been well cleaned this should be OK?

Good luck Waldo, I’m sure you will be fine.

I’ve had both of my AZ jabs, no issues here in the UK.

You can defer flying out within the first year if flights are an issue, plus the hotel cost is stupid money.

I scanned mine at work and it saved them as PDF files.

Fingers crossed your visa comes through soon. x

Log into your immi account and choose new application, then choose Family, then select Sponsorship for a partner to Migrate to Australia it will then ask for the reference number from YOUR Application and your date of birth. Then let your sponsor fill the form out and submit it. It will be connected to your application due to the reference number. To clarify it’s an online form rather than a form you download. Your partner/sponsor does this through your immi account.
