Costs to move?
Hi all pls help, I have started my application process to move to aus and dont have no worries about being accepted as my occupation is on the in demand list, i have already got my skills recognition and just need to send main application.
looking to finally make the move in approx 2012, i will have an estimated £50000 pounds to move with, and this has to pay for moving costs flights and medicals- not applications. we will be selling our house here so will have nothing to move back too, we want to rent a property for the 1st 18months/2yrs in victoria and then buy something. The big question, will £50000 be enough?
Thanks
Darren

hears my costs so far
TRA application £300
Visa application £900
photo copys and delivery of applications £100
Medicals 2x adults 2x kids £700
Shippers £3200
insurance for shipping £100
flights £3049
travel insurance £100
and as we are renting we have had to change our mortgage over to a lease to let which the price we have had to pay for changing it over cost us a nice little sum of £900
so when you look at it all together it does cost quite a bit,

Re: Costs to move?
