A sense of discontentment is rife amongst the population of Britain right now, which naturally leads many to think about the merits of emigrating from the UK to Australia, where life seems that much more appealing and relaxed.
But wait - the grass on the other side is always greener, right?
Well, that is certainly true to a degree and emigrating isn’t a cure all for problems that might trouble you wherever you go. However, the fact is, with its sun drenched beaches, fantastic climate and laid back outdoor culture, Australia would, and does, tick all of the right boxes for many expats looking for a new start.
More Brits emigrate from the UK to Australia than to any other destination. Indeed, so set on the idea are many that it is estimated that up to 40% of those leave the UK and immigrate to Australia have never set foot “down under” before. Whilst we would state that it’s always a good idea to visit the destination you intend to emigrate to before making concrete plans, there are certainly a myriad of reasons to choose Australia that make it a fair bet, even for those who are completely new to the country.
So, what does it take to get you there? Firstly you’ll need to qualify for a visa if you want to live and work in Australia rather than simply holiday there. You can arrange a free assessment of your eligibility by visiting our site, BreakingBarriers.info, as well as find all of the information you need to make your Australian dreams come true.
Alternatively, if you would prefer to test your eligibility yourself, to give you a general idea of your chances, you can visit the Governement’s Visa Wizard page by simply googling "Australian visa wizard".
The application does not include every visa type so don’t fret if your results are inconclusive, you can still visit our site to get the answers from the professionals in your free assessment.
Remember, there are often numerous avenues to explore when considering emigration and professional advice is usually recommended before you hand over your non-refundable visa processing fees to the consulate.
Point to note - the Australian Government made changes in January 2010 to the eligibility requirements for new immigrants entering the country under the “Skilled Worker” program. As a result of this, the policy is now slightly more restrictive and a keen knowledge of the relevance of an applicant’s qualifications and experience is therefore required to ensure that your application proceeds quickly and smoothly.
Not surprisingly, after the visa application process has been dealt with there are many things for you to attend to. From housing to employment and education, you should prepare as much as you can beforehand to make your transition in Australia as simple as it can be.
