Hi, I'm considering applying to emigrate to oz and I keep reading in peoples timeline things, that on a certain date they had their credit cards charged.
My question is, how much does the whole procedure cost?
Cheers
Jeff

Jeff, the following link from DIMIA's website provides this info:

Personally, I don't worry about the charges too much, since the cost of quitting a job, moving to Australia with all our possessions, then being unemployed while starting a career again, will be a lot more than the various charges to DIMIA and for health and police checks.

For general skilled migration, I think DIMIA's fee is now A$1,935. Charges vary for other visa types, and for when other family members have poor English. You need to review the appropriate booklet.
