Him again

My passport runs out in july, the only info i can find on the net is that i have to print off an application form from the british government website, then fill it in and post the whole lot to the uk including my current passport, surely this can't be right! Can any one help please.

hi Bal did you ever did and EPC course in Milton Keynes by any change?

Kathy I think that this is the link you refer to. Cheers Him Again http://www.pomsinadelaide.com/forum/content/15-emigrating-checklist-departure.html

Two of our daughters were still seeing a consultant for 2 yearly x-rays and check ups after having hip dysplacia as baby's. Do we have to pay in Australia for specialist appointments or are they covered by medicare?

Has anyone had a problem getting homephone and broadband connected? We have now been refused twice due to so called credit ratings. I presume this is because we have recently arrived in Oz and have no credit history, this was not a problem for electricity companies or renting though! Any feedback much appreciated, as we are just being sent from pillar to post and getting no straight answers at the moment, everytime I go to the Telstra shop they tell me to ring Telstra and everytime I ring I get sent back to the shop.

All 3 off our daughters have the same condition and our eldest daughter was in a cast for approximately 8 weeks and the other two were in a brace, once we had the medical we were revered and our consultant had to write a statement to explain the condition. Once that was received in Sydney it was excepted. This was in 2011 so I cant see that this condition would cause you any major problems with your application.

Just moved here and trying to sort out health cover, really just after ambulance cover and fairly good dental cover as we've both had a lot of dental work done recently. With medibank noticed that dental cover only covers upto $400 a year which hardly seems worth it looking at how expensive a filling or root canal can be.. Also is kids dental work free?

Just moved to the adelaide hills, and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good dentist practise.

Hi Wisette I am Dutch and my wife is English, we have three daughters aged 2, 5 and 7 we fly to Adelaide on 1 April to start living there. I ma not aware of any Dutch communities but the Dutch consulate ha passed on the details of the Dutch consulate in Adelaide so there must be some comunity.

Thanks Everyone

Dear folks Our big day is fast aproaching we are flying to Adelaide on 1 April with Singapore airlines. We have a 16 hour stop over in Singapore does anybody knows cheap accomodation preferably on the airport as we have 3 young childeren with us so that we all can have a sleep and leave our luggage while we take a dip in the pool. Thanks Him Again

Dear Folks First of all thanks for the support an clarification offered here on my question above, luckily the buyer has seen sense and we exchanged contracts yesterday. We are looking at flying out on the first of April just got the daunted task on informing my director and line manager later this morning, can't wait till this is done as I am not looking forward to this part. Thanks Him again

Diane and NIcF thanks for the replies it realy looks like I am ending up at this route as we now have been through the emigration route for years and we are detemend to get to Adelaide in the next couple of months, now the tricky business of negotiating with the mortgage company and once that this completed that we are off. We were due to fly on Mon 25 February which has now been postponed until further notice, so frustration is now boiling over at this stage in time, so many things to organise once the situation has been secured.

Dear folks As this site is feqented by greater minds then my own I would like to take the opportunity post a question as I am p*sssed about at the moment by our buyer. We are in the process of selling our house in the UK and the buyer knows that we are off to Australia once completed us and them have signed the contract for the contrat exchange, but they are not paying the 10% deposit for the contract exchange meaning that this can't be completed and therefore it is not legally binding now they want a reduction on the price and are stalling the process assuming that we are desperate. Naturally we are not desperate and I wont take this laying down so therefore we have set a deadline pay up before Friday or I use the technicallity that they are playing on to my advantage and take the house of the market and and rent it out. This is something that we should have considdered many months ago as the sums are working out for us. Now after a long winded intro the question is that allot of items are tax deductable, but what if we end up with more tax deductions then tax liabillity do we get a tax refund of HMR i.e. if we are laible for £5000 and we made £6000 in costs does the taxman pay the £1000? Any advise would be welcome if anybody is letting out there UK home as I have read threads in the past but can't find them. Thanks

yes that is right, nearly all windows and door are fitted with fly screens to let the air in and the crawlies out. Did anything happen to your application since September 2010?
