Cost of emigrating to Australia ? Save with Nowak Migration

What is a cost of emigrating to Australia?

We bet you are currently considering the possibility of moving to Australia one of these days.

The fact that you are reading this article shows that you are interested in the country as a potential destination for work, business, investment, study or permanent residency.

We are not surprised if you do because you are not alone in showing interest in the land Down Under.  The list of people applying for an Australian visa is growing not only by the day but by the minute.

And their reasons are as varied as their nationalities.  Majority of the visa applicants, though, want to travel to the country to work in various occupations where employers, states, and territories could not find suitable Australian citizens, permanent residents or New Zealand passport holders to hire.

A good number also want to escape the debilitating effects of stress brought about by the suffocating urban way of life as well as the high cost of living in many developed countries.  In other words, they want to find balance in their lives, which they cannot find in a constricting environment.

Yes, seekers of Australian visas do not only come from the developing and the underdeveloped countries.  Several citizens from the “First World” countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are also aching to have an Australian visa.

Yet others just want to enjoy the sun all throughout the year in the tropical part of Australia because in their home country sunshine is such a rare commodity (if we can consider sunshine a commodity) and are applying for an Australian tourist visa.

Indeed, Australia has emerged as the top choice for nationals from other countries to visit and live in for a variety of reasons – some major, others minor as we have seen above.

Expenses to be prepared for

It goes without saying that traveling to Australia and choosing to stay here either temporarily or permanently involves money.  The amount may not be huge but not cheap either.  The thing is, you need to save up for it.

First of all, you need to allocate some amount for the acquisition of visa.  This is the most basic expense if you come here from another country.  You cannot enter the territory of Australia without it.

You can check the website of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) for the schedule of fees of the different visa subclasses.

Add to that the fee for hiring a migration agent, which we highly recommend to make your life easier and to save on cost eventually.  Many people claim that hiring a migration consultant is expensive.  Try doing the application yourself and you will find out sooner that it’s more budget-friendly to avail of the services of a migration company such as ours – Nowak Migration.

Depending on the visa that you will apply for, you may cough up some amount of skills assessment, health certificate and police clearance among others.

If you bring dependents with you, there’s a different price tag for dependents over 18 years of age and those below 18 years old.  More money is required if you cannot part with your beloved pets — the bigger the pets the bigger the cost.

Don’t forget the budget for plane tickets.  How could you get to the country if you don’t have them?

Since you cannot carry all your belongings with you on the flight, you will need the services of a logistics company to transport your stuff from your place of origin to your point of destination.  For those items that you want to dispose of locally rather than take with you, you need to compute their costs versus the expenses that you will incur when you buy new things here.

And if you prefer to live in your own abode here, consider also the deposit for a house.

In short, when you come to Australia, you really need a considerable amount of money.  But there’s no need to lose sleep over it because you will be handsomely repaid if you are granted a visa and be able to set foot here.
