minnie659 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi, i have just read that WA ask how much money you would be bringing with you. A lot of our money would be from our house sale. Do they require a bank balance or a mortgage balance with a house quotation? Is there a minimum they would accept? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastie Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi. Its about $25,000 minimum for one person and about $35,000 for a couple. The more you can demonstrate the better. You only have to make a self declaration. You don't need to provide proof life bank statements, etc. Although I wouldn't lie because they may ask one day. I've never heard of anyone being asked though. Most people use house sale as evidence. I looked at righmove.co.uk and made an estimate of how much the house was worth and obviously subtracted the remaining mortgage. Coastie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chall77 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I had no idea about this. I saw people saying they went with £10,000 and started a thread myself to find out about this but got few responses. I hope there isn't a minimum as I applied for SS today with said 10K!

jgal Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Can anyone else give some more advice on this? Do they ask for proof? Is there a minimum amount? Any advice would be appreciated for me too sorry for jumping in on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Hopeful Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi, i have just read that WA ask how much money you would be bringing with you. A lot of our money would be from our house sale. Do they require a bank balance or a mortgage balance with a house quotation? Is there a minimum they would accept? Thanks We had direct experience with this. We were planning on selling our house before we left which would have given us a chunk of money to bring. We put this amount in our application form. However, some issues meant that we couldn't sell our house and we only had $9000 to come with and no job!! I called WA Immigration and they said there were absolutely no issues. They just said that they wanted to make sure that we had enough money to set ourselves up. They don't check bank balances or anything like that. In fact, they haven't checked anything since we arrived! Hope this helps. Good luck with the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
