Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Foggy - the advice was invaluable to us all.
If you want it go for it. Start preparing now and you'll find it quite straightforward. Start saving too, the costs mount up. Good luck. Feel free to PM any questions. HB |
Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Am i right in thinking the applicant if successful pays for his own visa as opposed to being sponsored per se

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Harry, it's been a real eye opener reading though your, and the others posts this past few months. Didn't apply last time round through a combination of personal factors but raring to go now. You're not wrong about costs! By my conservative estimates it'll take no less than £10000 simply to get myself and the family out there. That's just visas, medicals, flights and a reasonably priced container. Does that sound about right?
Like others I'm sure, I've a shed load of questions. I've PM'd a couple of posters from your campaign I reckon are from my own particular force. Hopefully they're still on here occasionally and have time to get back to me! |
Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
If successful WAPOL nominate you for a visa. The visas get processed pretty quickly but you have to pay it yourself.
£10000 is maybe on the low side. Process: 2 trips to London( flights hotels etc) £700 Police certificate £70 I think Police medical anywhere from free to £400 Family of 4 Visas and medicals - £5000 Container £3500 - £4000 average Flights £2800 I'd budget about £15,000 as you'll need rental and car in Oz A small price to pay for a better life HB |

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Hi There. First time posting. Ive been a PC in the Met for 8 yrs and did not get through last years initial application process. Im applying this year and was wondering what the 'Proof of completion of a diploma of policing (or equivalent)' means. Is it the confirmation of Police Constable certificate?
Didn't give the application 100% last year due to personal circumstances but determined to do it properly this year!!!! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Steve |

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
In relation to the question on Police Pensions - your police pension can be transferred over to an Australia Superannuation Scheme and if you do so in the first 6 months of arrival then it is tax free.
Given that most officers have a considerable amount of funds to transfer then you really need to have a professional do this for you otherwise you could be subject to HMRC tax penalties of up to 55%. cheers John |
Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Hello all! I'm a long time 'lurker' but first time poster. I've decided I'm going to throw my hat in for this; although I'm a bit shocked that their website is STILL down following the crash yesterday afternoon.

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help with what the medical entails for family? Is it just a general health check up or fitness medical also?
