calNgary Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 hiya im not a hundred percent on this but i know they do a retirement visa for (i think) over 45s the best thing would be to have a look at dimia's website which will explain the different ways of applying,if your still unsure maybe speak to an agent who will have a better idea,we too have decided to escape and are applying for a skilled visa on my partners occupation of diesel fitter although we are only at the early stages ,have a good read through the boards there is some excellent advice good luck cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trishandchris Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 You need to speak to an Immigration Agent in Oz and apply for a Contributory Parents Visa - its the quickest way and you will qualify because you have a daughter and family living in Oz at the moemnt. Its expensive but the more assured route. $24K for first applicant and $10K for the second parent. Hope this is helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Niknsteve Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi We too are trying to get to OZ, doing our immigration application at the momment. We have friends that have migrated and they told us that thier parents can apply for immigration through them once they have been there two years. I assume that because your daughter is a citizen she can sponser you guys, having a fair amount of money is a bonus too! The best thing for you to do is to approach an immigration specialist and let them tell you what options you have - we used a company called Ambler Collins, ( they have an internet site http://www.amblercollins.co.uk) and they were brilliant, really helpful and seem to have a pretty good sucess rate (we know quite a few people who have been excepted recently using them. Good luck Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
