How to move to Australia
How I did it: Used to live here some 10 years ago and always wanted to come back. About six years ago i seriously started to think about returning, but life was going in a different direction at the time. Wasnt until beginning of last year that things was starting to fall into place and midyear the "migration-ball" started to roll. Stepped of the plane onto the Australian red mud first week of November 2008.
Lessons & tips: Make sure you have ALL paperwork collected and neetly in a folder before you go to the embassy. Also - quicker to make and appointment and GO IN to the embassy than post your paperwork and hope for the best. When I eventually had collected everything I needed (leave yourself PLENTY of time to collect raports form government agencys - like police rapports from all countries you have lived in the last 10 years) I was in and out of the embassy in 3 hours with the stamp in my passport.... Compare that to hearing about people who posted the papers and 6 months later still had not gotten an answer...
