Thinking of moving to Australia has always been a pastime for many in the UK and can be thought of for as a ‘national hobby’ for lots of highly skilled migrants according to Tom Willis, a Senior Australian Migration Consultant with Let’s Go! “we have a unique bond with our antipodean cousins” remarked Tom listing great sporting rivalry, a love of the outdoors, a historic heritage stretching back to the foundations of Australia and of course whole generations that have grown up with Australian TV shows such as Neighbours and Home & Away. Not to mention the real life and hugely popular immigration show, ‘Wanted Down Under’.
Of course there’s also the language aspect that makes thinking of moving to Australia from the UK an interesting and viable alternative to say, some European countries where language is going to be a major hurdle to immigration.
Some will disagree of course yet when you migrate to a new life you need to do more than just order a beer or a meal in a restaurant! Thinking about life in general, healthcare, property, bureaucracy, working and schools to name a few and it becomes clear why Britons in the UK think about moving to Australia more than any other country on the planet.
Moving to Australia from the UK is also easier! There, we said it. We shouldn’t say it but we have. Technically, it’s not true. Moving to Australia from UK compared to any other country is, all things being equal, the same. Except all things simply aren’t equal when it comes to moving to Australia from the UK.
Thinking of Moving to Australia from UK with British Qualifications
Everyone thinking of moving to Australia on a PR Visa must first ensure that they have the right number of Australia Immigration points and also have their qualifications and employment history checked and verified by an approved Australian Skills Assessment Authority. UK qualifications are however easy to place in terms of equivalency; one only has to look at NARIC to see that they’re far easier than say, Chinese or Indian qualifications.
It’s easier to secure transcripts and Degree Certificates from UK Universities and those with UK qualifications (from NVQ upwards) don’t need to get their paperwork officially translated to comply with current Australia Immigration policy.
Extra migration points can help you with moving to Australia from the UK
It’s not often said for fear of treading on sensibilities but it moving to Australia from UK is easier for UK Nationals because English is their first language. Many people struggle when calculating their points for Australia but they fail to add on the beautiful points that can be awarded simply for speaking English!
That’s right, the moving to Australia points system shows a number of extra points that can be awarded for proof of English ability. You can claim an extra 20 points for having superior English whilst if your English ability is above average you should confidently add on a further 10 points to your overall total. For many people in the early stages of planning their move to Australia these extra points often make or break the likelihood of a successful visa application.
How to claim the English points for moving to Australia
After identifying that Australia migration points can be gained for English some clients then like to think about ways to get out of having to prove their statement. For some people this is possible but we simply don’t recommend it for there are in reality no shortcuts to the moving to Australia visa process. Try not to think about avoiding proving your English skills rather embrace the fact that you’re a UK Citizen and take either the IELTS test or for certain occupations the Cambridge Advanced English exam.
Requirements
Moving to Australia from UK requirements are the same as from every other country in the World and Australia Immigration policy is applied fairly across the spectrum regardless of your country of origin. For Permanent Residency you’re going to be under 50, have an occupation in demand, have enough points and be able to secure a positive skills assessment in your nominated trade, occupation or profession.
Thinking of moving to Australia from UK with or without a Migration Agent
According to Tom from Let’s Go! Global choosing a migration agent is a delicate business and it’s important to pick someone with whom you feel truly comfortable.
The ups and downs of any Australia Migration project put a strain on even the best relationships and you’re going to need the comfort and reassurance that you’re not just one of many faceless clients.
“Let’s Go! Global actually restrict the amount of clients we take on by applying strict criteria from the beginning. Put simply, if we don’t think you’ve got a chance you likely don’t” says Tom, which is why we can confidently offer our No Visa No Fee Refund Guarantee.
After taking your visa assessment any migration agent should work with you closely to devise a mutually agreeable immigration pathway and go to great lengths to explain total costs including all extra third party fees. If you’re thinking of moving to Australia from UK with the services of a good migration agent (who on earth wants a bad one!) expect to pay in the region of £1800 to £2800 in total and usually these fees can be spread over a number of months.
