Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi and welcome to the forum, in regards to agents I would look at Alan Collett, George Lombard or Raul (ABA) all are members on here and are reputable companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbidydub Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi and welcome to pio! We Used Go Matilda to get our visas and found them excellent. We can't sell our business / home so we are leasing / renting so as our visa does not expire and then maybe sell at a later date. Our asset will still be in the uk and our mortgage will be getting paid in the uk so we have a bi of a safety net if we have to come back for whatever reason. The process of moving is very expensive these are our costs so far and we have been waiting for 3 years to make the move. Some of the prices are in £ and $ and are approx as far as I can remember!! We r a family of 4 Migration agent £1500 Visas $2000 medicals £ 400 Police checks £100 Reccie because we couldn't move within the year of visa granted £ 6000 Removals £ 4000 Insurance and quarantine costs for removals £ 600 Flights £ 2200 Holiday let and car hire for 4 weeks £ 1000 4 weeks rent plus bond for new rental $ 4000 New car $ 7000 Then we've got uniforms school books odds and sods when you first arrive prob need about £ 2000 for that. Then there's the cost to close my business down and remortgage to a buy to let etc which is not becoming cheap! Its frightening when you write it all down and if I did this before I started the process then I may not be at this point now however things get paid at different times and you have time to save while you wait for your visa. In the grand scheme of things it's a small price to pay to alter the rest of your life. Go for it and good luck it's def a roller coaster !!

2skint2party Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi we used Visa Bureau to get our visas, I think we paid £3000ish in total to them medicals for 2 adults and 2 kids £ 700 ish police checks £ 70 Removals (not the black company) £3300ish Now selling our house to pay for container and flights. As previously said you don't have to pay these costs all at once so it is manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
