There is also an interview by the relevant authority right?

For Australia, since i have no relatives there and no australian degree, the best category i can apply to is Independent category – sc.136 . The passing point is 120! What happens if the best i can have is 115? Can bride my way through?
Also what is a designated security?

Money money money money in Singapore!
Singapore only about Money!

The salary there is high, so do the cost of living...
The tax is especially high in Aussie too....
I only got a Diploma in Electronics, difficult...
Nurses are in high demand...
If you wanna be a nurse, you can get there easily... -

so other than the cost of food, does the accomodation, clothes, groceries cost how much higher than singapore's?
Ireland pays weel isn't it?? -
To Cindyfeh
You are thinking of migrating to Australia?
My friend just got a PR from them and she has just moved to Sydney to work.
She said that you have to do it before you're 30 (Can't remember what's the reason. Maybe after 30 you will get less points or what).

Oz charges 10%GST except on fresh bread, fruits and vegetables.Originally posted by Arena:so other than the cost of food, does the accomodation, clothes, groceries cost how much higher than singapore's?
Ireland pays weel isn't it?? Restaurants also charge 10%GST, and if it's a public holiday, they're entitled to surcharge your bill an additional 15%. Really. -
Thanks Killer Boss for the info. Yes. What your friend said is true for non Australian Uni graduates.
It is 5 less point once I cross the 30 years line. There are some ways to make up for th 5 points. One is to invest AUS$100K into gov bonds. The other is to have been employed in Australia in a skilled occupation for at least 6 months in the 48 months immediately before the date of the application, while holding a substantive visa authorising you to work.
Once you crossed 35 years old, unless you are darn rich, you better hope your skills are super needed by Australia so that you will get 15 to 20 points extra.
I am taking a bet that the profession that I am going into will remain needed by Australia to get the 60 points. If it dropped to 50 points, I will have to look elsewhere for migration.
And Atobe said migrating is no big deal... -
btw Cindyfeh, not everyone is suitable to be his own boss or venture overseas... some will have worse fortune if they leave their homeland.
some thoughts for u b4 u consider migrating...

Yup migrating is a big thing. Thats why I adviced people (in the Austria thread) to try stay at least 2 months in the new country before making a move. Thanks for your concern.Originally posted by Mr Fugue:btw Cindyfeh, not everyone is suitable to be his own boss or venture overseas... some will have worse fortune if they leave their homeland.

staying there for 2 mths and living there for the rest of yr life is TWO DIFFERENT things.Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Yup migrating is a big thing. Thats why I adviced people (in the Austria thread) to try stay at least 2 months in the new country before making a move. Thanks for your concern.
some people are just not destined to live overseas. u study astrology, you'll know. -
There seems to be an increasing interest by forumites in migrating overseas. Lets discuss some views and assist one another here shall we?
Better yet, if someone still have not started a forum, he or she can start a migration forum. -

Hi Guys,
Regarding to point system where they grade you, will there be a better chance if the application is submitted as a couple (husband & wife) both with the required profession by the country. -
ok lets say for eg. i sign up for the U melb foundation yr programme and then continue and finish the degree over there will i stand a v good or crap chance of getting my citizenship?

Make sure you go into a job that is in demand if you intend to emigrate. For the first job there, be prepared to work in less attractive areas eg.rural areas far from civilisation cos that's where they need people. Get your PR first, then you can move elsewhere later.
But you must be clear why you are emigrating. Not all jobs are better paid in the west compared to Singapore, after you have factored in the taxes. If you are a plumber and can get a job in UK, I say go immediately. If you are a surgeon in Singapore, then I say you are better off financially staying here. Your tax liability in UK is more than 40% and you will have big pay cut. The NHS pays their surgeons the same amount as their GPs. -
I think your post is a little misleading. Roughly speaking, the income tax system is as follows:Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Make sure you go into a job that is in demand if you intend to emigrate.

1st 5000 pounds is not taxed. This is a variable amount depending on your age, marital status, etc.
Any income above that is taxable income.
