LizM Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 We need another list of "Steps on arrival" with things like - getting medicare cards, bank accounts, phones etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekie Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Mmmm... Good idea! I've done it too long ago to remember it all - maybe a more recent arrival could take that on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maudei Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thank You Jordy for this amazing list you put together and were so kind to share it with us all. I am close to the end of my process and even though I only just came across your list today, it has been extremely helpful still. There were a few items on your list that I realise I could perhaps do a little extra work on for the good reasons that you pointed out. One Item I had totally forgotten to put on my list was copies of important documents to leave behind with my sister. Although she does hold a backup of most of my documents it does not include everything and especially my WILL. Thank you once again Jordy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I am very pleased so many have found this list helpful. Although it does need updating. Perhaps I will have a look at it again and update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsJ Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi all, is there anyway someone could do an updated version of this or edit this one? So much has changed and I am getting a little confused. Especially in what order the invite, case officer, medicals and final payment happens,Thanks!

Jordy Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 This process was written with the RSMS visa in mind. I will have a look at it to update it but there is a good post by HadEnoughofJuju detailing the precise process for EOI visas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuKapie Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 None of my children ever considered moving to Australia. Like all of us, they love South Africa. Now my daughter is pregnant and they realize the value of bringing up a child in a secure environment. I just hope that the Australian Government will allow them to immigrate. I miss my children so much and it would be like heaven having them here.Thanks for this list.

PTLF Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Jordy, thank you for this list. I only read it now and my husband and I have been through these steps (we have our visas and plane tickets), but there was advice that we didn't think of that has been very useful. Great tips on how to tie up lose ends too. Thank you!I see that others are asking if this list needs modifying for more recent times. We got our visa in June 2014 and I must say this list still applies and we went through parts that were applicable to us (we have no kids, pets, house or business to sell - so very easy for us to pack up and go!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
