BilboBaggins Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi all, I have been trying to find a way to move to Perth for the last 15 months now but have not yet found a successful route. Is their a website that advertises jobs for people looking to move to OZ that are willing to offer Visas after a certain time frame? Sorry its a bit vague but not sure what extra info maybe need. I currently have an IT business in the UK but have only been doing it for 7 years, i have been told that i would need $800'000 to start a new business in OZ and my company just hasn't got that sort of capital, or am i barking up the wrong tree? Any help appreciated. Bilbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Your first step is to see if you qualify for a visa. I will move your thread to the migration section. start with a look through the various visas out there http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/Find-a-visa.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilboBaggins Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks for that i was looking to become a employee as i fear that if i move to Oz and start a business then the Lifestyle aspect of the reason for moving would go out the window. One of the only reasons my wife will move if its means spending more time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly likely Bilbo..sorry to say...on any route in...the first years are mainly establishing yourselves...the economic climate means there are plenty of Aussie jobseekers...

Quite the opposite, companies are supposed to demonstrate they did all they could to find a local candidate before being able to sponsor, so the website you are looking for would be against all of that. As for business visas, it is not capital you need, it is a track record of substantial revenue that is required. Something like the figure you quoted. If you are in IT though, why not look into skilled migration, ration, some IT occupations qualify for the skilled migrant visa. Before you do any of that, can I strongly recommend you think about your reasons for moving and try to work out if they are real or cliches. For example moving for a warmer climate might not be a reason for everyone, but it is factual. Moving for a better life or because you think you will spend more time with your wife is a notion or rather, that this will happen simply because you plonk yourself somewhere else is a notion. I can categorically say we have not found these extra hours in the day to spend together the day is still 24 hours long and we spend a lot of it at work, as we always did, we do have a lot less annual leave now though. Aussies do not clock off at 3pm and go to the beach, they are pretty hard working as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The obvious starting point to me, would be to consult a registered migration agent to see your options. Most will give you a free assessment. We have found Go Matilda and the other agents on here to be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Do research thoroughly the lifestyle options that present in reality. Not discounting the price tag it comes with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Possibly what we call a self sponsored subclass 457 visa, leading to permanent residency via subclass 186 once you are in Australia. Feel able to contact me via PM or email to explore this. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Is there a reason why you can't spend more time together in the UK? What are your reasons for wanting to live in perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
