The 5 Steps To Making A Permanent Move To Australia
Living in the UK isn't particularly great at the moment
. Apart from the high petrol prices, increase in vehicle tax and expensive housing, there's a hung Parliament which saw the pound drop in value immediately and although a coalition has been formed, there is still a lot of uncertainty into the future governing of the country, which is having a knock on effect on the UK economy.Due to these reasons, it's no surprise that people are looking at other parts of the world to live in, with Australia being one of the main destination choices.
If you're thinking about a move to Australia, but are unsure where to start, these 5 steps show how a move generally works. Whilst the process of moving is more in-depth, these points should give you a good idea of the steps you need to take to move to Australia permanently.
1. Holiday - if you've only ever read about and seen pictures of Australia in magazines or online, then the very first step you need to take is to book a holiday to Australia. Don't treat this first visit as a time for looking for houses or schools, but use it as a way of getting a feel for Australian life.
2. Holiday again - if you come back from Australia and realise that it is just as you imagined it to be, you'll be surprised - and glad - to hear that you should make a return visit. Try and not go back at the same time of year or to the same area as you did on your first visit, as a different month or city on your return visit will give you something to compare and make sure that the love of Australia after your first visit wasn't simply because you had a good holiday.
3. And again - after you've made your second visit, it's time to start getting serious. Book to go back, but rather than spending this visit as a holiday, use it to look at specific areas to live in if you were to move. Check out the distances to schools, shopping areas, beaches and ask locals for information on anything you feel relevant, such as crime or transport.
4. Get organised - further to your third visit, you should now have a good idea of where you want to live in the country and so it's time to start looking at making a move to Australia.
Start by checking out the different visas that are available and which ones are most suited for you. Look at job vacancies in the area and start getting the ball rolling on accommodation.
If you're ready and have all of the information at hand for the visa most suitable for you, then send of your application.
5. Move! - OK, so this aspect may not be as straightforward as it sounds, but in between applying for your visa and having it accepted, you should start to make all your arrangements, obviously not finalising anything until you have received your visa.
Once you have, though, this is where things start to come in to play and so rather than worry about the hundreds of different scenarios that may occur simply remember to keep calm, stay focused and remember that you'll soon be in Australia enjoying your new life.
