Here are the best responses from Aussies on all the things to bear in mind before moving down:
—u/Murrumbeenian “Moved to Melbourne from NYC and was shocked that my first apartment here didn’t have a refrigerator. I thought the place had been robbed before I’d moved in.” —u/avidbirdpointerouter To be fair, that’s not a bad place to start — you can see if you like Australia before committing to permanent residency/citizenship." —u/Superannuatedpunk “It can be a very expensive and time consuming process, which I don’t think everyone factors in. My partner’s visa cost us $8k and took over 27 months for just about the simplest case possible.” —u/NixyPix “Unless you have a needed skill, you aren’t going to get any stay visa.” —u/DURIAN8888 —u/4SeasonWahine —u/a_child_to_criticize
