I am 61 years old and would like to live in Australia with my daughter. What's the best way of going about it?

That amount is roughly what a Contributory Parent (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 143) will cost all up. You're eligible for this visa if your daughter sponsors you and at least half of your children are permanently resident in Australia or if you have more children living permanently in Australia than in any other country.

The 143 visa is expensive, but it will be issued far faster than other parent visas and grants permanent residency (and eventual citizenship if you wish). You will also be eligible to receive subsidised healthcare through Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and can access certain social security payments (subject to waiting periods). You can also work if you wish to do so.

look in laws on emigration in the country ,sell all your stuff before you go. move in with your daughter till you get settled in the country.dont take stuff over as it will cost too much.good luck

Well the best way would be to sell your house if you own one at the moment. then what part of australia are you looking at going to? I know some of the smaller towns rent is Â£45. But i would sell the house but before that i would look in the the places in the area for rent or that are being sold.then try and get a farie ride to there its cheaper to move all you items then get your self set up with a moveing truck at the docks to take your items to your new location.

Go to Alaska, you can live off the land and make a stake on government land. There's a lot of single white guys there for you're daughter if she's old enough.

To answer this question properly I would need to know two things. How many children do you have, and what is your daughter's residence status in Australia.

the only way you could move to Australia is if your daughter sponsors you

are you retired? you wouldn't have much chance of finding work in Australia at your age
this site should help you work out the process good luck

Do you have a skill? Does your daughter? a profession Australia is looking for?

If you don't you could check out what their looking for and see if you can get retrained or?you can check out with Australia House....what people they need right now.

I know Australia have been running a "where are you" campaign to bring Australians home...so the demand from other countries may be less.

Good luck.

mate i am an Aussie and it all depends on where you will be living. Find out how much it is for homes etc where you're daughter is living.

just call your daughter and tell her you took care of her for many yrs while she grew now she can take care of you till you find what you want and can pay for

Caring girl.

The best way of going about it is doing it the right way.
