Cost?
Hi Guys,
How much approximately are we looking at to emigrate? I don't think we would be using an agent so those fees wouldn't apply, but what else is there? Need to start saving!!! Cheers :) |
Re: Cost?
How much is very very subjective, but to name a few
Visa application costs Medicals/police checks Qualification approval checks House Sale costs Medical insurance Travel costs Pets? International removal costs Initial holiday accommodation costs Large deposit for short term rental Extra baggage costs Hours and Hours and Hours of research (the most costly of all costs imho) Good Luck :thumbsup: |

Cheers :) Hi, can only speak from my own experience to date. With removals and flights and agents etc. I've spent £15,000 give or take a couple of hundred. Imo the agents were well worth it, and the cost was relativley small in comparison with every thing else. |
Re: Cost?
We spent 10 000 pounds (sorry no pound sign on keyboard)
Visa application, meds, etc Filled a container (got Brittania in, they were brill, everything got here safe) 2 week stay in a holday house while in UK (gave us time to close our life down there and tie sort stuff out) Flights, one way cattle class And we brought our dog...dont ask :o It ws 4 years ago so prob gone up a bit since then as well |

Re: Cost?
Ours has cost us about £8000 so far - don't see any more costs cropping up except living expenses in Aus.....!
We had an agent. roughly speaking £1500 agents fees £1500 Visa and skills assessment fees £3000 Shipping £1400 Air Fares £100 Insurance £200 Hotel in london prior to flying £500 Medicals £70 Police Checks |
Re: Cost?
Then there's the cost associated with loss of salary until you find another job in Aus. Especially pertinent if you gave up a job in UK.
It's not important in the sense it was an obvious consideration, but non the less it's a cost associated with emigrating. |

Re: Cost?
I reckon 15,000 sounds about right for us too. Family of 2 adults and 2 children.
Agents - £3,500 - shop around for them is my advice. Glad we used 1 but the most expensive isn't ncessarily the best. Good Luck, Lou :) |

Note: numbers need to be typed on the number pad (right of the keyboard) not on the row of numbers along the top of the keyboard. |
