Australia! Australia! by joeldt23
Australia is one of my favorite countries. If I聮m going to list down all; I聮m going to put Australia as my number one country to quarters. At the outset of seeing all the pictures聴and the other information that I read, I felt that I聮m part of that ...
Australia is definitely one of the best countries in the world. The people are great, and the landscape is literally awesome. If you ever have the opportunity to get to Australia, please do. If you have the opportunity to migrate to Australia, then ... Read More

Welcome to Italy! Most things in Italy are the same. They look really good, but don't work very well. Unfortunately that often includes the Italians.... Read More

I know. I was just pointing out that not everyone can buy property in Italy as had been claimed. Read More

Not anyone can buy real estate in Italy. You need to be a citizen of Italy, or another country that allows Italian citizens to buy property in that country. For example, UK citizens cannot buy property in Italy any more, since brexit. As Australian ... Read More
Brits who have moved to Australia - is it all roses? by dilby
Hi all - I'm an Aussie currently living in the UK where I've been for several years. I'd be curious to hear from any aussies who have made the move about how they feel about it overall. The media seem to paint a romanticised image of ...
Whenever I visit the UK I really miss the outdoor culture. They don't even have covered areas outside for when it rains. Read More

I miss the dreary miserable weather and the dreary miserable people. Seriously, I cannot see any advantage to living in the UK. Australian life is so much more pleasant. I've not regretted my move ever. Better lifestyle, better healthcare, ... Read More
New members of the Australia forum, introduce yourselves here - 2020 by Julien
Hi all, Newbie on the Australia forum? Don't know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on ...
Congratulations, Peter. You could try for a professional temporary visa, this used to be 457 and probably still is. You need a company to sponsor you, and they need to have a certain number of Australian employees to qualify. If you are ... Read More
Becoming an expat by Zig Zag Wanderer
Hi all! OK, a bit different: I'm already an expat from the UK. Now I want to become an Australian expat too. Has anyone here done this, and if so, did they have any problems with the ato not accepting your non tax residency? They seem to be ...
That part I know. Thanks, though. Read More

I agree with all of that, apart from the rule of thumb you describe. The ATO states clearly that the first tax year you are out of the country for more than 6 months would be your first non-resident year. My issue is whether he ATO is likely to ... Read More

Not 100% true, you will have check with the council. UK citizens could buy in Italy because they were EU citizens, as of 1/01/21 they will not be. In Austria, UK citizens will have to ask permission from the local council. This could be the same in ... Read More

Not according to the law. For example UK citizens will not be able to buy property after brexit, unless there is an agreement to allow it. I specifically requested this of an Italian lawyer friend. Luckily as my children are Australian too, we ... Read More

Italy mostly only allows EU citizens to buy property. They do, however, let citizens of a few other countries that have reciprocal agreements on owning property. Australia is one. There is a list on the gov website I think. Read More

I don't think so. I have an address in Italy, but when I opened an account, in person) they used my UK drivers license address. It seems very easy, but you do get charged a bit in ongoing fees. Read More
