Hi all My partner and i are both 30 and have been considering the big move to australia for the last 2 years. recently this idea has developed and we now have staretd to read through the application and the booklets on the immi.gov website. which is a minefield of documents and very daunting process. we hope to apply for a skilled visa based on my job as an electrical design engineer. the thing is we have read through some threads on forums along with watching various relocation programmes on the telly and are getting very concerned that we cant afford to continue. Most people appear to move to Oz with some form of money in the bank and enough to put down a deposit on a house. We are in the unfortunate position where as first time buyers 3 years ago bought our property in the UK when the market was at its peak and are now burdened with negative equity. we have little to no savings as our incoming match our outgoings. This means that should we be able to scrape enough money together to go for a holiday to Oz and the visa application, we wil be fully reliant on getting work straight away. we have no problems in renting when we first arrive but the obvious dream is to eventually buy a house. what is the mortgage system like in Oz? are desposit required as high as those required for UK property? i guess this does depend on area but we are looking at the queensland or NSW as our preffered destination. I have so many more question regarding the visa process and what to do next but i am going to continue to read some of the other threads on PIO first to see if my questions have been asked. Thanks Joycey

Just been trawling the net and cannot get a straight answer on this question! I realise that my 5 yr old will start school when we get there. Its my 2 boys who will have just turned 12 and 14 when we get to Aus ( end nov2011) In the UK Ryan- youngest one would be starting Comprehensive school this Sept (His bday is Oct) and Connor-14yr old(Nov bday) would be in Yr9...this has got me confused as they obviously have different term dates there so I cant work out when they have to be of a certain age to enrol :arghh:! Any light shed would be gratefully appreciated xx

There must be someone on here who can answer this... any dentists here?! How much do we think it's going to cost me to have a wisdom tooth pulled?? I'm in Queensland, not that that really makes much difference I'm sure) with no private medical cover as yet and I already spent $235 the other day in one session on: - clean - polish - fluoride treatment - first time assessment - 2x small x-rays (which could have been avoided had I known I was gonna have to have a full mouth one for my wisdom teeth too which can be bulk-billed by QSCAN) Anybody got any ideas? Plus I'm also worried about it due to lots of horror stories about wisdom teeth extraction... that and I've seen some videos of surgery for it too. It's got me a bit freaked.:huh: How I have it done has yet to be determined by assessing what the angle of the tooth is, how far out of the gum it is compared to what it could be etc from the xrays I have to go and get. :sad: Not happy. :no: Please send advice?

Hi, My husband is Australian and we own property in Australia. I am also under 31 so can get a Working holiday visa to start and get a spousal visa later if needs be. I am a qualified Project Manager with 4 years of experience managing UK government funded training contracts and I am also a qualified Teacher. The question I have is, I've started to apply for jobs in Australia from the UK and I'm wondering for anyone who is already there could please tell me if there is any chance of me obtaining employment before I go? We would be looking to go to Victoria and I have heard that the market there is good and that I have a chance but I'm not sure. Advice please? Thank you in advance Kirstyn

Hi, My partner and I are in the fortunate position of having our visas. I have now been offered a job in Hobart, Tasmania. We are renting our property in UK and I plan to keep my UK bank account and use a UK credit card and operate both of these online for a while until I have an Aus bank account. My salary in the Uk is £30K. I am in the process of negotiating with Tassie, but the minimum is £44K. My partner is worried about the cost of living in Aus, but I think things will balance out. We have some savings (not loads). My question is should I take this all of this over or leave it in the UK as the exchange rate is so poor?

:wub: Hi We are hoping to Emigrate to Aus and are trying to negotiate our way around the financial implications! My first question is.....If we rent our house in the Uk and then sell it later down the line when the exchange rate (hopefully) improves, will the money be taxed when we transfer it over? I have read/heard that if we bring the money with us we would be okay but if we brought it over after a couple of years, tax would be payable. Does anyone know if this is correct and if so what are the time scales...ie how long have we got to tranfer the money without penalty? We are hoping to get a 457 sponsored visa, initially it will probably be a 'temporary' before becoming permanent. If anyone knows of a website or individual who could answer all my questions please let me know. Hope you can help! Thank you Cathy x:wub:

Hi everyone, so we made it to Aus (well I finally made it home) and we have had some great news, my wife is pregnant, due 1.8.11. She wants me to ask anyone on here who has been in the same boat how they went about obtaining a british passport for the baby once he/she is born. I enjoy telling her our first will be Aussie by birth and then British by decent......hehe :biggrin: Any advice will be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in advance Pat

Hi, my mum wants to give us some money for our new life in SA. For the SS application form for south oz, does she just need to write a letter with a bank statement or does she need to transfer the money straight away? We don't want the money in our account until it is time for us to make the move to Aus (as she is getting a nice interest on it at the mo abroad). Do they want prove of all other funds you say you have? We have a property to sell plus a caravan, but not yet. Cheers

Hi there, Hope someone could offer some guidance / advice to this matter. I am heading to the UK after 9yrs here, but have racked up a bit of debt since living in Aus. I am sending a letter to my creditors requesting for some breathing space whilst I move back and resettle and find work, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this or what the uptake or response could likely be. I have no intention of avoiding paying my debt, as my ex was in the industry and I know that Aus companies can utilise an agency in the UK to chase this, but curious if anyone has any further knowledge, facts or documentation to 'persuade' the creditors to freeze debt for a limited period of time or to negotiate a repayment structure.. Or, as one person suggested to me, an option could be to file for bankruptcy, naturally this causes an issue if I returned to Aus, but would there be any impact in the UK with this method? Strange question I know, but I want to make sure I cover all bases before making decisions..

Hi. I'm going to be applying for a Partner Visa this year. My wife is Australian and we're currently both based in London. We'd like to travel for a 4-6 months between leaving London and moving to Australia. Once my Partner Visa is granted how quickly am I going to need to settle in Aus? immi.gov.au states: I'm guessing that police and health checks don't expire within a matter of weeks, but can anyone advise on what timeframe they've actually been given following a successful application? All advice appreciated! Greg
