While there is no upper funds limit, the minimum funds required are dependent on the emigration route. Certain visa streams demand a minimum amount, while others do not. However, for skilled migration, we recommend a family should budget for A$40,000 as a minimum.
Investors, Parents and Partners have statutory minimums as stated on those specific pages.
Australia wants to see that all migrants have enough funds to support themselves and their families without requiring support from the public purse.
The Australian emigration system is designed to only offer places to migrants they believe will benefit the economy, be conducive to the public good and not become a burden to the public purse.
Some visa streams set a points test to assess a migrant’s eligibility. Once a person applies to emigrate they are then placed in a competitive pool of similar candidates globally, Australia then offers an invitation to emigrate to the best candidates.
For skilled migrants, the maximum age is 45 years. However, for investors, Global Talent and others the upper age limit can be extended up to 55 years.
You may move to Australia without a job if you are an investor, entrepreneur, skilled worker or family member. In fact, to avoid online scams, it is advised NOT to accept a job until you have arrived.
Your options are limited to being a family member, investor or person with significant global talent. Australia calculated that older migrants are at a greater risk of becoming a burden on the public purse, with limited tax contributions.
Boasting one of the world’s highest standards of living, a booming economy, a safe environment and an excellent educational system. Australia is the preferred choice for those lucky enough to be eligible to emigrate there.
Each July, Australia sets migrant quotas they will accept during the following fiscal year. The quota is divided between skilled workers, investors and family members.
The Australian economy is always willing to accept those who will contribute to its success.
In recent years, the only way to retire in Australia is by investment. Alternatively, you will need to have children living in Australia who are willing and able to sponsor you. Australia prefers migrants who will pay taxes for years to come.
Medicare requires a person to be a permanent resident or a UK Citizen before they can access free health care. The reciprocal agreement with the UK means the NHS will cover a British person’s medical bills until they emigrate permanently.
The Australian – UK Trade Agreement signed in 2022 makes it easier for young British workers to emigrate.
Australia hopes to benefit from British skilled workers under 35 years old. Based on Australia’s higher standard and attractive climate Australia is expecting a large number of young Brits to take advantage of the trade deal.
Opportunities to emigrate are limited after 45 years. In exceptional circumstances, a few highly skilled workers willing to live in extremely rural areas may qualify. However, the most popular choice for those over 45 years is the investor options. Alternatively, members of an Australian family may also be eligible.
We would be delighted to assist with your plans and welcome you to our great country.
