Guest Gollywobbler Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 hello can anyone give me any info about retirement to oz. thanks from val in aberdeen. Hi Val Ho hum, my dear! In practical terms, it is very unlikely that you would be able to adopt Australia as your permanent home in retirement unless you are a Parent who can satisfy the Balance of Family Test. If, having retired from work, you would be content to heft a lot of money in Australia's direction for the privilege of being allowed to reside there temporarily only, they do offer an Investor Retirement visa which does NOT confer Permanent Residence. Bring it on, Val. What's the score and what is driving your question? I am reluctant to shower you with a load of links to things to consider if 3/4 of them might be irrelevant to you, because I have no wish to exasperate you with ideas that wouldn't stand a chance in your own case due to facts which you have not told us about yet.

Hi Val I have sent you an essay in the form of a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 HI again Val There is one option which you and I didn't discuss when we exchanged PMs earlier in the year. Would you be prepared to consider a student visa for Oz? Depending on what you do now, you could always do an MBA or something - loads of those around nowadays. Natch, you need to be careful about the promoters of these courses - they are on commissions from the education-providers, who deperately need these foreign students for the profits they can make from teaching them. However, if you can afford the fees etc, it could be an option, perhaps. Worth a look at the student stuff on the DIMA website anyway, and I've come across a site which supposedly helps wannabe students. If the ide appeals, I'd suggest bleeding the man dry for free information, but just don't get sucked into anything too readily. http://www.aiec.biz/english_version/hun.html Cheers, hunny Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
