My wife and I have been chatting about various ways of speeding up the process. I would like to ask your opinions on taking out a personal loan in order to immigrate. Does anyone have first-hand experience or at least know anyone who has done it that way?
I believe that we would still need an SA bank account with enough money to pay the debit orders each month. Our intention is to pay the loan off ASAP from Oz using AUS$.
Our plan going forward is to save as much money as we can this year to pay for the admin stuff (IELTS, Medicals, My assessment with EA, police clearance etc.) to get the ball rolling and then use the loan to pay the way to get over to Oz/subsidise the balance required. (We're obviously not keen to take out a personal loan and have debt in SA when we leave, but if it means getting into Oz sooner, we're willing to do it!)

Hi All,
My wife and I have been chatting about various ways of speeding up the process. I would like to ask your opinions on taking out a personal loan in order to immigrate. Does anyone have first-hand experience or at least know anyone who has done it that way?

Any information would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
