Re: Husband wants to go to Australia

I agree with this, sorry.

I am originally from NZ, and I and my UK OH first moved to Aus almost 30 years ago. Our kids were born here, but neither of us really have any family here, except for one...

Re: New Thresholds for UK Spouse Visa really? £38,700 by early 2025!

Has this change altered the savings requirement? I have checked the link to the gov.uk site provided above, but can't find anything relating to applying under "savings", rather than "income". Does...

Re: Day 1 in NSW

Hi! Welcome to Australia (when you get here). I'm not much help with Wifi, particularly in small towns, but the main providers will be Optus and Telstra. You can check out their plans online, and see...

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

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'
