Any recommendations on how to transfer money ?? I know i'm stressing about selling things haha but We just couldn't wait, my husband has to give 3 months notice at work (and they have a department in Melbourne so a transfer is possible but not certain so didn't want to piss them off and just leave) so he resigned a day after the visa came through so leaving end of May. He has been sending money back to Aus all the time he has been here and has used transfer wise. I think they charge you 2 (pound) per transfer weather its 100 or 1000 your sending over. Depending how much money you have to move i believe there are better ones for larger amounts. Transfer wise does get it to Aus within about 2-3 days usually Edited March 16, 2018 by J-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I liked about Moneycorp was being able to transfer my money at a good exchange rate, then I could let it sit in my Moneycorp account until I got my bank account opened (which, since I was going Australia-UK, took weeks!). I guess other providers can do the same but it's worth checking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellemorrison Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hello Congratulations to you and yours!!! What a relief this must be for you. I would be grateful to get advice from you. I have a British passport and I applied for my Partner Visa offshore in Paris, where I was living in the last few years. I had been with my Australian partner for just over 3 years. I applied on 20th Nov 2017. I 'm currently in Australia on a visitor's visa. Came so I can wait for the process here. My CO wrote to me that a Partner Combination Visa 309/ 100 is ready for grant. I have to leave Australia to get it. Thats all good and I have no prob going to NZ to get it. Do you know how I get my Permanent Visa 100? I don't think I have to wait 2 years but is there a process for this? We submitted very solid evidence to prove we have been living together and in a de facto relationship for over 3 years. Any helpful tips will be appreciated Thank you Elida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsShields12 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi there , you apply for both at the same time ( same application ) you don’t know what’s granted until the email comes through I’m sorry . It sounds like you may be lucky enough and get the 100 but I’m no expert. Good of luck and I wish you well xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
