I've guestimated £1500 max if it all works out.
£135 agents fee (wish I hadn't bothered)
£120 to get documents certified for skills assessment
£170 for ACS RPL
£750 for visa
£10 for police checks
£110 for medicals
Plus extras like postage, passport photos and what have you...

Probably close to GBP2500, not including validation trip which would add on loads.

Agent maybe GBP1500, medicals, translations, poilice certs, NZIS fees, lawyer's certifications - it all adds up.

We could have easily saved the agent fee if we'd encountered this forum/ sister Immi forum first.

Stat decs x4 - £20
Certified copies - Free
Police check - £10
Medical - £95
Xray - £45
Total Postage ~£10
Spouse Visa - £540

Total £720

Not too bad but I guess a spouse visa would be cheaper.

Ours was a family medical fee X3, only I needed X-ray as my wife was pregnant and kids don't need one. All in about GBP150 (NZ).

Yep total cost...so if you have to pay for six meds that has to be included.........visa validation is excluded as the visa has been granted prior to this.....

used agent, not a straight forward case, £3000. best £3000 Ive ever spent, sold 18 month old caravan, lost £12000 there, two cars say another £3000, shipping £3500, flights £1500. blimey this is adding up, good job the house has gone up £90000 in the last 9 months.

swings and roundabouts, but glad I did it

cardiologist fee - 418
police check - 10
certified docs - 10

total - £1141 - more than I originally budgeted for, but will be worth it if it goes to plan

How come your application charge was only £540, most seem to be around £770
