I lived in Australia for a year and very much enjoyed the walk to the bus stop each day. So many colorful birds, meeting people, everything was always interesting. Perhaps because I was in a different country, but gosh it was fun.
- unixhero 6y agoAustralia is fucking great. A shame about their draconian immigration VISA laws.
- gonzo41 6y agoJust be rich, that's the trick. Like mastercard, being rich works everywhere too. :P
- pestatije 6y agoNah. Come here for study, work part time, find sponsor, you're done!
- unixhero 6y agoWell I did. One degree. Then another. A sponsor will lets your ass survive for 5 years, maybe 10 if you get an extension on your sponsorship. Then you're out. Forget your old life, because you're going back wherever you came from. "In fact we don't care, just get out of our borders."
- nicbou 6y agoIt's the same in most countries isn't it? My presence in Germany still depends on my ability to pay taxes.
- rcxdude 6y agoAt least in the UK if you've lived here (under whatever visa or rules allow you to) for 10 years and pass some fairly straightforward (if a bit silly) tests you can effectively stay indefinitely (whether you aim to become a full citizen or not). The process is a bit expensive and bureaucratic (and the home office often maliciously incompetent), but in principle if you've stayed here long enough you don't have much threat of being kicked out.
