Hi, im looking for some advice, i have received a job offer from a prospective employer,( i applied direct to them ) the job offer is on a rsms perm visa they have told me they can sponsor me, but here is the bit im not sure about, i thought that by them sponsoring me they pay the visa and relocation costs, the visa costs amount to $2000 but what im asking is if i have to pay visa fight and medical costs then how much should i look at taking with me bearing in mind i will be renting and they can assist in finding somewhere, sorry if this not make sense but just need clarification before i sign job offer for them to lodge the offer to start the process, any help advice would be great many thanks....

Hi Dave

First of all welcome to BE - you have certainly come to the right place for advice and information for moving to most parts of the planet.

Unfortunately before I can guide you to the right places and people on here I need you to tell us a little more - in particular could you please let us know where you are moving to and what profession the job offer is in.

Once we know those two things we can point you to where you can find out pretty much everything you need to know

Regards

Hi Dave

In that case I would recommend you check out two forums on here :

First of all check the Australia forum where you can chat to lots of expats already living and working in the Victoria area, and fin out all the things you want to know, and plenty more that you will need to know.
You will find this forum by clicking the 'Forum index' button on the top left of this page, scroll down the listed countries, double click on Australia and you;re in. Just pop a post on there in the same way you did here and ask any questions you have.
We also have a Trucking forum where you can chat with other expats working the same profession - I am sure they will give you the true lowdown. You will fin this one by returning to the forum index page, scroll past all the countries to the next section entitled 'Working abroad by profession' and click on trucking below that.

In the meantime I wish you all the very best with your plans

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.
