Hey, has anyone secured a rental property before leaving for aus? If so how did you do it? Did you need a job before they'd give you a lease!?

 

Thanks, Adam

 

Hiya,

WOW!!

House sold in 5 days??!!

Ours on market for a week now, there's interest but most have houses of their own to sell.

Worried sick. Hope we don't have to go on holiday to validate - more expense!

Hi Brian,

 

The thread is really to list when people are going out there but it is also to meet people & make friends. How are you finding living in Adelaide? Whereabouts are you?

 

 

Nice to 'meet' you

Hi Cara

 

Can we add ourselves to this thread please?

We started the process in February 2010, lodged visa application on the 14th November 2010 and finally got our visa's on the 19th April 2011. Put the house on the market on 29th April and accepted an offer on the 29th June, completed and moved out on the 29th July!!! It's been a whirlwind couple of months!!

We are now in rented accomodation for a couple of months until we fly out to Adelaide on 7th November with singapore airlines. We have got a furnished rental in Port Noarlunga until early January. Bank account now open, shipping quotes coming in and now getting very very excited!!! :jiggy:

Hi leane, our shippers told us 8-10 wks so should arrive about 2-4 weeks after we arrive and maybe 1-2 weeks in quarantine. So should have plenty of time to find rental. Save paying for storage.

How long does it take to valladate a visa after getting the grant?

 

I think to validate your visa ,you just need to land at an airport in Oz, you will be given a time that you must do this by,usually no more than a year from the start date of your visa.
