Re: Why no reciprocal treatment? (moved from Immigration)
I actually thought, it was reciprocal, per exact British Nationality status, but I was last in ausilabd many years ago, in fact I thought the aborigines still had it,,,, no no

Re: Why no reciprocal treatment? (moved from Immigration)
Usually there are some form of free movement of people between states that share the same head of state. Anyway, after reading this article ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...uit-juice.html) people should be awared of the costs in Oz. There are some people here (migration or property agents) painting a too rosy picture of Oz.

Plenty of other countries to move to - the world is your oyster as the saying goes

Old.sparkles and amazulu, in fact to all,
this dailymail snippet, isnt this again people not doing their homework, before
Deciding to pull the plug, and also going for wrong reasons.
My wife (german) were fortunate to travel and work in different parts of the world, sometimes long periods just "globetrotting" so we had a different approach.
But when we decided, where...we took pros and cons..for us and not, other peoples.
In the end...2 things made the difference..
1) If too far away , getting back to europe on trips, for ourselves, or our kids
Being able to take ONLY a short trip to experience another culture.basically too
Expensive.
2) The 4 seasons, we love the changes through the year.
Funny thing is we nearly ended up, in a couple of places, where the descision was
Close.....Mexico, Nepal, India, but we knew here we would have had a top life-style
In comparison to our life now...but we would not have been able to get
Away and travel far from these countries...our wages would of been top,
But only for those countries.
USA, AUSTRALIA, no though we had a few relations. NZ south Isand, nice just too far.
Canada, nearly..just again too far away. But these ideas were OUR choices.
Somehow santa in a sand sledge, didnt float our boat

Re: Why no reciprocal treatment? (moved from Immigration)
That is also what I think- Oz seems to be on the way to be 'colonized' by asians (especially south asians). British people seem to be on the losing end of this migration. They have to compete on the same pay as them but have to pay double or triple for an airfare back home (not mentioning other relocation costs). Unless the job prospects down under is extremely fantastic, there is no good reason to go down under.
I suppose we could try to get a tow, to move us closer

Re: Why no reciprocal treatment? (moved from Immigration)
It often costs more to fly from Australia to SE Asia than to the UK, I looked at flights to India from here as I would love to backpack around India before I get too old and feeble. Would have been cheaper to fly to Heathrow.
Hey, quite a few Brits are moving to Uganda now, might suit.

Re: Why no reciprocal treatment? (moved from Immigration)
Isnt that free market economy/enterprise.
Plus ones wages and a flight price back home, no matter where that home maybe ,has no comparison.plus if ones emmigrated to Australia, one is back home.
I recall something my bruv in law once said when they had emmigrated to NZ.
In a driving lesson my bruv-in-law taking his NZ license, said,
'Oops we dont do this back home, I am sorry'
The repore from the instructor, was simple...'but sir you are home'
