Your application won't be looked on favourably if you land there the one day and go in and apply to stay permanently the next. This shows prior intent to go there permanently and will be regarded as dishonest. Btw my Aunt works in immigration.

There are also plenty of warnings on there to apply from your own country.

Have to agree that those are the main reasons for moving. Crime is top of the list as 99% of the people I know who left did so due to bad experiences.
