Hi All - Moving to Melbourne

Hi Alan,

Welcome to expat-blog!

Best wishes,

David.

Bring your wife with you; and whatever you do, don't smoke, as the excise on fags will take you to the cleaners!

Thanks for the advice guys .

What areas should I look at, are there specific areas where ex South Africans live?

Hi Alan
A big welcome to you in August and i hope it's no too late to invite you to catch up with us. We're a group of men living in Melbourne and we meet regularly. My direct email is below and you are welcome to get in touch for any requests that will make your visit and stay in melbourne memorable.
Melbourne as you might be aware has severally been voted the most livable city in the world and for a good reason. I have lived here for over 11 years and can't imagine living anywhere else in Australia and so yes you made the right choice.
There other positive factor about your choice of melbourne is that alot of Australians are migrating to victoria, mainly melbourne due to the employment and investment opportunity that exist here.
melbourne is very vibrant culturally and socially.
Assured your husband that he will be in good company here. Majority of our members are professionals ranging from lecturers/teachers to care workers and in between accountants, investors etc.
If you require start up assistance, please let me know and we can organize this with pleasure.
If you require bridging accommodation, we can also assist with this.
Feel free to communicate with me through the email below:

First you need to see if you qualify for a visa. For this check out the website www.immi.gov.au All the information and paperwork is on this website.

I do not wish to sound negative but the process can be long and involved. If you have a specialist skill or heaps of qualifications the process could still take 12 months or longer.
