The first step in migrating is to find out if you are eligible. If you are pursuing this on your own you will need to get in contact with an agent who will tell you what documents you need. It is recommended to use a lawyer or agent to speed up the process and make certain you have everything the first time you apply.

The entire process can take 12 months to be processed. It is crucial that any and all documentation submitted to Australia House is done correctly. If not, your application will be returned, not only does this slow things down but you will have to reapply and pay any additional fees. There are required checks with the police, medical, and other systems. This can raise the cost of the application considerably.

Using migration agents or migration lawyers may be the easier way to get everything in order. Migration agents are similar to using a lawyer. Both agents and lawyers can tell you if you are eligible. They can also provide you with the information on fees and time frame you have. You will then be advised of the forms needed. You will also have to provide references and documents. Using an agent can speed the process along and perhaps save you money. They eliminate any errors so that your application is submitted correctly from the start. These agents can lessen your stress and take away any unnecessary steps in the process.

When deciding what to do you should carefully weigh the pros and cons. Consider carefully that Australia can be an expensive place to live. You will want to understand the cost of living before you go. The quality of life is amazing and the whole area is surrounded by beaches. Most residents have their own pool; you will want to make sure that you have savings before you come here. Austrian dollars do not go as far and the pay rate is not as high.

Emigrating can be rewarding as Australia is seen as a laid back country where the people are friendly and the temperatures stay nice. You are surrounded by water and beaches. It almost seems perfect.

Just remember that living in Australia can be costly, and the process can take a while. Plan your move carefully and consider the use of a lawyer or agent to ensure that your paperwork is completed accurately and correct the first time to avoid complications from paperwork errors.
