• e-mail

My daughter and son-in-法律 live in Australia and keep asking me and my wife to join them over there.?

I don't want to raise their hopes or do something we might 悔いる and would prefer to be able to digest all the facts without their knowledge, just in 事例／患者 we think it best to stay where we are.?

Finding out the exact 財政上の and 合法的な 必要物／必要条件s seems to be very difficult and 混乱させるing though.?

Finding out the exact 財政上の 必要物／必要条件s needed to move can seem difficult and 混乱させるing

I have searched online and there seems to be a 財政上の 必要物／必要条件 of £750,000, or £850,000, depending on where you want to live, but I am not sure whether this would be cash in the bank, or total cash 含むing buying a house.?

We couldn't raise this 量 of money if it didn't 含む buying a house, so coul d you advise please on Australia's 支配するs and 規則s for a British couple to retire there??経由で email?

Will Kirkman, of This is Money, replies: Last week we 明らかにする／漏らすd that Australia is the number one 目的地 in the world for UK pensioner expats.

Nearly a ４半期/4分の1 of a million - or 234,880 to be 正確な - British expat pensioners 現在／一般に live 負かす／撃墜する under, the 同等（の） of the 全住民 of Swansea.???

With Australia 存在 such a popular 目的地 for Britons, it's likely there are many people out there asking 類似の questions to yourself.?We asked an 専門家 on the Australian ビザ system to let you know your 選択s.?

The answer below gives examples in Australian Dollars. At the time of 出版（物）, A$1,000 was 同等（の） to £544.19.?

Grahame Igglesden,?director and 移住 スパイ／執行官 at 概念 Australia, replies:?I believe the ビザ class you are referring to is '投資家 退職' which the Australian Department of Home 事件／事情／状勢s discontinued in June last year.

This ビザ class 要求するd applicants to make a 重要な 財政上の 投資 in Australia and the 基金s and income needed depended on where an applicant 手配中の，お尋ね者 to reside in the country.?

Grahame Igglesden, of 概念 Australia

For example, applicants wishing to reside in Sydney or Melbourne needed A$1,500,000 加える a 逮捕する 年次の income of A$65,000 but this was 減ずるd to A$1,000,000 and an income of A$50,000 for applicants who 手配中の，お尋ね者 to live in 地域の Australia.

現在／一般に, there are other ビザ 選択s 利用できる to parents with a child in Australia such as 'contributory parent'.?

To be 適格の, parents must 会合，会う the 'balance of family' 実験（する） which 要求するs at least half of their children to be living in Australia 永久的に or that they have more children living in Australia 永久的に than in any other country.?

At 現在の the number of parents 適用するing for this ビザ 越えるs the number of places 利用できる, resulting in a four-year wait.?

老年の parents also have the 選択 to 宿泊する their 使用／適用 onshore and remain in Australia on a 橋（渡しをする）ing ビザ until their 使用／適用 is decided.

現在／一般に, a husband and wife 適用するing for a 永久の Contributory Parent ビザ will 支払う／賃金 an 使用／適用 料金 of A$5,155 加える a second 使用／適用 料金 of A$87,200 to the Department of Home 事件／事情／状勢s before their 使用／適用 is decided and once all ビザ 基準 has been met.?

An 保証／確信 of Support, usually 供給するd by the sponsoring child, must also be 認可するd by Centrelink in Australia 要求するing a 社債 of A$14,000 which is held by the 連邦／共和国 Bank of Australia for 10 years and 解放（する）d to the assurer at the end of the AoS period, with the deduction of any 量 needed to 返す recoverable social 安全 支払い（額）s to Centrelink.

You may be asking why the costs associated with parent ビザs are so expensive, but parents are more たびたび（訪れる） 使用者s of the health services in Australia.

It is 概算の that the cumulative lifetime costs for a parent are at least A$335,000, which is かなり more than the 歳入 生成するd from parents 適用するing for a contributory parent ビザ.?

Medicare 供給するs Australians with 接近 to a 範囲 of subsidised 医療の services as they make lifetime 出資／貢献s to these 補助金s through their 所得税 and 年次の Medicare 徴収する. Parents have not made this level of 出資／貢献.

Parent ビザs are expensive as?parents are more たびたび（訪れる） 使用者s of Australia's health services?

The DHA has, however, recently been successful in introducing a '一時的な long stay parent' ビザ which is 目的（とする）d at 限界ing the 重荷（を負わせる） on health care to the Australian community.?

This new ビザ class is 推定する／予想するd to come into 影響 in the next few months and should enable parents to join their children and grandchildren in Australia more quickly. The 'balance of family' 実験（する） will no longer be 適用するd.?

Parents under the new 計画／陰謀 will not be able to work and will not have 接近 to Medicare and therefore will need to 持続する 適する 私的な health 保険 throughout their authorised stay in Australia.

Under the new 手はず／準備, it is 推定する／予想するd that parents would be able to 適用する for a three-year ビザ at a cost of A$5,000 or a five-year ビザ at a cost of A$10,000.?

The five-year ビザ would 現在の an 選択 to be 新たにするd once at a cost of a その上の A$10,000.

Parents must be sponsored by their child settled in Australia who will need to take 責任／義務 for 確実にするing that they do not become a 重荷（を負わせる） on the Australian community.?

Sponsors will therefore 直面する more rigorous checks 経由で an 査定／評価 of their income and 資産s before their parent's 使用／適用 can be submitted to the DHA.?

An '保証／確信 of support' 社債 will also be 要求するd to be 認可するd. A 社債 協定 can 補助装置 in recouping costs where 後援 義務s have not been honoured.?

Any 社債 量 may need to be 重要な ーするために cover a parent's 可能性のある health costs over a five-year period.
