Immigrating from Spain
We are hoping to get to Sydney on an 864 visa (Contributory aged parent).
One of our many problems is that we have lived in Spain for ten years. Has anyone on this forum moved from Spain? My concern is primarily getting a removal company from here - any ideas?
I am also unsure about police checks and medicals over here ( as we have to be onshore to apply for our visa, would the medical be done in Aus?).
We have our first house viewing on Monday, and I have suddenly realised that I have done little practical planning!
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope someone can help.

Re: Immigrating from Spain
I cannot help with the removalists, but have you tried the regular international shippers like John Mason, Allied, Doree Bonner etc? They must know what to do, people must move from Spain.
Also are you aware that whilst this is an onshore application, it doesn't mean you can travel to Australia for the sole purpose of lodging it. You would need a visa to enter Australia in the first place, what visa do or will you have?
Note that the removalists will check that you have a suitable visa in place before they ship your possessions.
