Not sure if this is the right forum for this, I've been living in Melbourne for 4 years now and have plans to renounce my Malaysian citizenship in the future and get an Aussie passport instead - reason being my partner and myself plan to travel the world (and work) and easier to have the same passport as some countries allow defacto/wife/husband to piggyback on my visa. We are not married, just defacto - together for 6.5 years now.

I currently have PTPTN loan which i have been diligently paying off every single month as per the schedule, do i need to pay it off in bulk once i renounce my citizenship?

I also am a guarantor for the family car, how will this affect them? What if I also have a car loan under my name?

I guess I can't keep my local bank accounts anymore?

Advice appreciated.

I love living in Melbourne, but have offers from HK/overseas and we are both considering uprooting to HK and join my ex boss but I'm just in a dilemma whether to get an Aussie passport (i still love Malaysia) or sign marriage papers (ugh). Looking at the HK work visa, i think their definition of spouse is married spouse only sad.gif

well even you wish to jump boat to australia, do you understand Australia NCC? and whats not so and stuffs of the construction code.

the construction management here is different from what you know in Malaysia. There are "regulation code which require you to comply with and undertable as usual" even you going to argue Malaysia construction are better.

as for your field in building and interior, we have many of them here. All is good for the demand as iron and energy sector fall off..

Anytime! Do both of you work in the city? Maybe dinner on one of the weekdays? Don't do much travelling nowadays, just based in the office.

if you are a fresh grad, will be hard for you to get a job, since u need to compete with Aussie and those graduated in Aus.. even if you are an experienced worker, its gonna be hard also..as they usually will prefer those with local Australia experience, unless ur skills is in demand and it difficult to get an Australian to fill the job..

and of course the first thing u must have is right to work there..as in you must have a visa..without that no one will even look at your CV..even with visa, it will be hard for you to look for job from Malaysia, as they prefer you to be there so they can interview u anytime..

Australia is famous for laid-back lifestyle, and usually u can go home by 5 or 6pm..(depends on industry lar) as they value family time.. thats y shopping centre also closes at 5pm :-)

huge chunk of your money will be for the rent, other than that, everything will be reasonable..as long as you are earning Aussie dollar, it should be okie..

worth it or not, its up to you on how you see it.. and dont expect bed of roses or even 'greener grass' there..

you can visit Whirlpool its something like Lowyat here..

Hi Guys,
I might be asking at the wrong place. I need to check, is there a way to apply Australia PR without going thru an agent. Is it advisable to do so?

definitely yes, as not everyone is loaded with money !
I did mine myself (but that was so many years back, (5 years back) but i think the forms aren't much different..)

in fact, i asked some questions in other forums (BE Expats) about some questions im not sure what they are asking, and they are really helpful.

if wanna find a job in oz best is to find a recruiter that owns the firm then confirm you can get interview otherwise all the others recruiters who are just employees just filling their quotas to hit their sales, best if you have networking cos some jobs not advertised on seek website and of cos it's better if you go to the HR of the company itself when applying

Better ask yr question on FB - Malaysians in Melbourne group. There's a rep from the M'sian consulate who's online sometimes. Also lots of responses frm others who have gone thru this as well.

Hey all, it's been awhile since the last time I browsed this topic. smile.gif

May consider returning to Australia later (still contemplating and subject to arrangements/approval made by my current employer in Malaysia) as I am offered with a SkillSelect invitation. Therefore those who have successfully applied, hope you wouldn't mind me asking:

1. Is it necessary to provide birth certificate under "Documents to Show Identity" in that PR SkillSelect application since I've included passport as my attachment?
2. Who do you normally seek for to certify scanned copies of your documents?

Thanks.
