Thanks for your reply. My parents are still in the UK and are going straight for the permanent visa as they are sure they want to stay . As you say it is expensive but hopefully worth it. I am sorry it wasn't for you in the end but at least you gave it a go wish you the best x

Hi all lokking to see if anyone has been through this process. My parents are lodging this visa in the next few weeks. It seems that all the work is front ended and its a matter of just waiting. They say it will take about 2 years to complete. if anyone has done this or is going through the process would you mind sharing your experiences with me. thanks in advance kathy

Ho Blossom does that mean as soon as the lodge the 173 visa they will get the bridging visa in a few weeks and can then come over. I am trying to read the info on the net but some of it is so confusing thank you Kathy xx

Hi 2 questions 1- can you apply for a free bridging visa once you have lodged your 173 visa? 2- can you purchase property with cash on the bridging visa or 173 visa? so many questions thank you kathy x

Hi Tee thsnks for you reply just wanted to check is that the cost for both the permanent and temp visa each? Also approx how long after they lodge the temp visa can they come over? thanks Kathy

For bridging visa and 143 visa??? I know I have to sponsor them and pay a bond cost???? thanks in advance kathy

Hi It just seems so unfair my teaching pension and AVC stuck over there aswell as my husbands. I am hoping they will arrange something because there must be thousands like us kerp in touch with updated kathy

Hi can anyone help? i have been trying to get my pensions over from the UK and have just been told that more or less my pensions are trapped in the UK as the UK no longer recognise any Australian SuperFund as QUROPS. i am just worried that my pensions in the UK will just dwindle away with fees etc and really don't know what to do. Do I continue paying UK pensions or just pay into Australian Super????. is anyone else in the same position or can anyone offer assistance many thanks kathy

Hi, I should also also mention my wife has a teacher pension in the UK which she has had for nearly 14 years. We are also wondering if it would be wise to move this over. many thanks

Hi, I have been here now for one year and was thinking about moving my Standard Life personal pension over. I should quite a big fund by now and was interested at looking at self managed super funds. I just wanted to know if firstly this would be possible and what be the potential costs of doing so. I would appreciate your help.

Thanks apart art from that do have to prove they have enough cash to live on whilst here and if so how much? thank you x

Hi my family and I emigrated to Adelaide this year. D absolutely love it and have no intention of returning to the UK. My parents (dad 71 and mum 68) are thinking of joining us. Just wandered what visa they would need and is there a certain amount of cash that they would need to have to enter Oz thankyou in advance for your help kathy

Thank you so I only need a special visa if I leave after 5 years for a holiday etc ???

Hi just reading this thread we have a PR visa understood the 5 year deadline but I thought that was just to actually move over here. Do I need to gain citizenship within the five years. If this is the case how long would the application and award take place. If you renew could they refuse. just having a little panic attack. Hope yor friend will be OK Tyke Kathy

Hi bubbl went to all the schools no agencies. Primary R -7. There is plenty of work out there. kathy

Hi just updating messages. Working as a TRT now for the last 4 weeks and have only had 2 days off, so there is work about and also turning down approx 3 jobs a day. Be warned you get about $100 a day less in a private school if you are on tier 9 for state. There is a vast difference between some state and independent schools. I must say I am loving it. Schools very different to yo the UK but in a good week x x x kathy

Walpdorf Steiner school is absolutely fantastic they have their own approved curriculum. It is a very unique school in appearence eg the library is in the shape of an open book the science lab a sound wave and the year 4 Viking ship. The children are the centre of everything. It is fee paying but in my opinion very much worth it. Have a look at Steiner education on the net. Good luck . Seaford rise us lovely but the school is about 10-15 minutes away by car . kathy

Hi both Completely agree we have been here almost 8 weeks and like yourselves we love the place. Granted there is lots to do but as you say we have moved half way across the world,. there are too many people on this sight sharing doom and gloom so all I say is live your life and don't listen to others. You decide on what is best for you and your family and only you! everyone does the research on a country before you move and remember you have to work for what you get nothing is handed to you !! Adelaide, the place, the people and the weather are all great. Kathy

Hi kate thanks for the message but booked already for the 15th wish I had used the link though x
