Re: Swapping Aus "Green P" Licence for UK Licence

@durhamlad - agreed. I think that renting a car would be out of the question. I think her best bet is going to be just to use trains to get around

Re: Swapping Aus "Green P" Licence for UK Licence

Yeah, I got my first licence in New Zealand, and in those days you could walk in on your 15th birthday and walk out with a full licence an hour or so later. Frankly now that I have kids that prospect...

Re: Swapping Aus "Green P" Licence for UK Licence

Thanks very much for the reply SoS. I suspected that might be the situation. She can't get her full licence until she has had her Green Ps for 2 years (moved from Red Ps to Green Ps in July). I knew...

Swapping Aus "Green P" Licence for UK Licence

Hi all, I apologise if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a relevant thread. My daughter (AU/NZ/UK citizen) is considering travelling to the UK and Europe in the relatively near future....

Re: Loss Of Australian Citizenship

Just adding that I did find it interesting that the article states he could re-acquire his citizenship on application with payment of $210, assuming he is of good character. This apparently has an...

Re: Loss Of Australian Citizenship

I was aware of it in the 90's as someone I worked within London was Australian. She married a Brit but could not get a UK passport at that time without losing her AU citizenship. I knew the rule had...

Re: $90k salary for family of 4.

Another thing to consider will be, depending on what visa you are coming on, and the ages of your children, in NSW you will need to pay school fees, even for public (state) school. They used to be...

Re: Current Luggage allowances for 1 way to AU

Personal opinion, but having recently flowing Lufthansa from Bangkok-Munich-Heathrow, and then Heathrow-Munich-Singapore I would never fly them again. We were only in standard economy, not premium,...

Re: Really want to move home but partner does not

Don't dismiss this too easily. Sometimes I think humans let their hearts rule their heads too much, and sometimes that is a good thing, but I don't agree that considering your own needs and what will...

Re: Really want to move home but partner does not

You have my sympathies. This is not an easy position to be in, but I really think you need to give some serious thought to whether you can live in the US, potentially forever with perhaps only short...

Re: Midwife moving to Australia (I have questions)

I'm not a midwife or nurse, but you may have more luck if you try searching for the term 'doula'
you may have already done this though.

Great Post SDG. I grew up in NZ, moved to London, married a Brit, back to NZ, then to Oz, then back to NZ, and then to Oz again. I am originally from Christchurch and all of my family is there. I...

Hi all,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but a search of the forum did not throw up any recent threads.

Re: Does baby need an Aus or UK passport?

Surely if the mother is an Australian citizen, then the child will be a citizen from birth, and will NEED an Australian passport, as all Australian citizens must enter and leave Australia on an...

Re: WTF in America

I'm guessing that their reasoning is that no one died or looks likely to, but to my mind that still makes it a mass shooting, just not mass murder. Maybe those of us who don't have to confront this...

Hugs Bevs. We went through the lovely times in Christchurch before decamping to Oz. Hate, hate, hate the things with a passion.

Re: Spouse Visa Questions

Unless I've missed something, you can't apply yet anyway, as you don't yet have a job lined up in the UK. If you don't have the equivalent of £62,500 in the bank, you will need a job earning £18,600...

Just to clarify, "bulk billing" doctors will not usually charge you a fee - they claim directly from Medicare. At least, the ones I have used do. Some practices may advise that they are "bulk...
