4 Uncomfortable truths about emigrating – Plus the good news
Immigrating is a huge undertaking. Especially if you’re doing it as a family! However, most people entering the emigration process do not fully realise what lies ahead.
Is it worth it? Of course! You’re opening doors to new opportunities and a better life for yourself and your family.
But how do you prepare yourself for the journey? A good way to start is by reading the uncomfortable truths (and the good news) below.
1. You’re going to have a lot of admin to do
Many applicants are surprised by the amount of admin that’s involved in the application.
You have to gather the required documents, complete the necessary paperwork, do the applicable tests, and complete a skills assessment if your visa asks for it.
Everything has to happen at the right time too and it also has to happen in a way or format that meets the requirements of Australia’s Department of Home Affairs.
The good news
Our licensed immigration advisors can guide you through everything that’s required and ensure that it happens as and when it should. Our team even go as far as booking English tests for you, leaving you with more time to focus on those behind-the-scenes things.
2. Your emigration might not happen as quickly as you’d like
You can’t wait to pack your bags and get on that aeroplane! And who can blame you? Australia is a dream destination.
Unfortunately, your emigration might not always happen as quickly as you want it to.
For instance, the Department of Home Affairs might get an influx of applications for a new visa category which means everyone has to wait a bit longer on the outcome of their visas. Or, as we all now know, a pandemic could strike!
The good news
You can rest assured that we always compile your application as quickly as possible to submit it as soon as it’s possible. And while we cannot influence the Department of Home Affairs in any way, we do undertake to ensure that you’re never left in the dark about what’s happening with your application.
3. Emigration is not cheap
There are a lot of costs involved in emigrating, from paying the movers to putting down a deposit on a place to stay or importing your pet. You’ll also have to pay government fees and you might need to pay for English tests and registrations too.
The good news
When you deal with us, you’ll know exactly how much your visa application will cost. Simply book a consultation call!
Firstly, and most importantly, you’ll discover during the consultation call if you are eligible to move to Australia. You don’t want to spend money on a visa application if you don’t!
If you are eligible to immigrate to Australia, the licensed advisor will also discuss your visa options with you. However, if you aren’t immediately eligible, the advisor will discuss the best way forward.
After the call, if you are eligible to apply for a visa, you’ll get a complete quote outlining the costs of your application. Our team can also refer you to reputable pet importers and English language teachers so that you have an even better idea of the costs involved.
4. Emigration is not for the faint-hearted
Moving countries is a huge undertaking, so prepare for elevated stress and anxiety during your immigration! Take comfort in the fact that this is normal and that you can get through it. Don’t forget either that you’re doing one of the most exciting things any person can do!
The good news
You don’t have go it alone with our advisors at your side! Our team will ensure that your stress and anxiety is kept to a minimum by seeing to it that all requirements are met, and by giving you realistic timelines and expectations.

Hi Maike, Katrin and Natanya,
This has literally been the most swift and efficient process I have ever experienced in my life. Less than 6 months from start to end…where we were expecting closer to 2 years. You have all been fabulous to work with and trust me, I have already referred many people to you.
I want to thank you so much for all you have done for us and giving us the key to start the chapter of our lives that we have been wanting to start.
I will read all the documents later and advise on any queries, etc.
Have a great week!
Thanks so much again!
