Smile Hi all, any advice welcome

Hi there,

My name is Ashley, living in London, and I'm a qualified midwife.

Moving out to Darwin to be with my partner, hopefully very soon! I have been offered a position in a Darwin hospital and am waiting on my visa. Once I receive my visa, apart from booking flights etc. what are the next steps? Any advice at all would be great.

Hi Ashley,

1. Organise bank accounts over here from over there beforehand and collect your bank cards when you arrive.

And Welcome to BE.

Bring as much documentation, birth certificates, driving license, marriage, divorce papers as you can because some of them will come in very handy as you apply for a driving licence, go through immigration, get married, etc. pain in the arse getting 'em from home in a hurry.

Consider continuing to make contributions to your UK state pension.
