Wow you are moving earlier than me. I got my PR in 2014. Been dragging my time here and i have to go by 2017.

I have the same worries as you too albeit i am single.

Gonna park here and look at the responses. Its true that you will have doubts when you earn sufficient here only to see yourself starting all over again in another country.

I studied in Australia for 2 years and i like the life there. That's why i chose to move. But to give up a job that i really love and pay that i would say more than sufficient... its really a big decision.

Hopefully it will be the right decision.

Keep it up. You are going with your partner. At least there is a moral and mental support there for you.

Bro, 2017 is only a couple of months away.  If you don't make the move soon, I reckon you will never make the move in the end. I faced the same dilemma because I was comfortable where I was, making more than enough doing what I did  and generally was extremely happy with my life in Singapore.  I ended up wasting two PR visas and it was only when I neared what I felt was  possibly my last throw of the dice (since I was going to be at the age where migration would be next to impossible soon),  that I decided to finally get off my butt and do something concrete about it.

Luckily for me, the new category of the significant investor visa appeared just in time to save my sorry ass. So now I have a whole chunk of my assets locked up in Australia,  and although that's a financial inconvenience, at least it allows me to continue being where I can maximize my business opportunities and still have one final chance to retire in Australia when it's time to call it a day smile.gif

Yup. Already bought my one way ticket. Most of the major preparation has been done. Now left with getting a job there.

Definitely not going to let go of my pr so easily. I guess i just have to embrace a new change.

I heard is harder and more expensive now.
