FYI

Cheap flights here. I used same route to Melbourne and I had no issues. I paid 300k for a one-way ticket from Abuja to Melbourne.
Those of you coming to Melbourne you might not need IOM afterall.
Hint: You may wanna have a handful of snacks in your hand luggage.

May the Melbourne community continue to grow.

*Disclaimer*

The travel time is over 35hrs, if u are traveling with kids it's going to be hard on them. I believe you should travel with airline that has a shorter travel time especially when traveling with children because they tire easily

[quote author=Omooloriredade post=65330816]Long post alert!!! cheesy grin cheesy

My entry was pretty much similar to everyone's. Hassle-free no much questions asked. This actually blew my mind because I was expecting some form of interrogation from Immigration but none happened. No stamps....nothing. In my mind I was like 'abi this is a setup ni' like they were performing a psychological test or evaluation.
I proceeded to Customs for checks but those ones just asked me to pass my bag through scanner after informing them I had 'Cassava flakes' grin

As I made to walk towards the exit, I kept thinking this people will call me back o. How can I just enter your country to come and live permanently and you'll just make it easy like that.

A friend picked me up at the airport and took me to a house he had already secured for me till my arrival. The plan was to stay in his house but he had some important guests who came same day. He paid for a week. When I asked to refund he declined. I appreciated him sincerely. I had other friends I could stay with but I just decided I wasn't giving up my freedom jare . Let me just add that I have the best housemates anyone could wish for. We are like family mehn.

I have never traveled for such a long duration before so I underestimated coming jet-lag. I arrived late on a Thursday and didn't sleep till daybreak cry cry Next morning, I was at the bank to pick up my ATM card and update my account details (since I opened from Naija). Jet-lag effect continued o cry 2hrs to 3 hrs sleep at night only.

Congratulations. Please which type of Visa you used to go?

Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by chidike(m): 11:24am On Feb 23, 2019
Guys, please ensure you register for ambulance cover in your state for both emergency and non emergency services. You never know when you may need it. Ambulance services are not covered under Medicare and if you ever have an ambulance called, you'll have to pay about 1000 dollars (whether you enter or not). So get a cover, it's not that expensive, for a single guy in Victoria it's about 94 dollars per annum. You can google ambulance services for your state to get more info. Note that some private health insurers dont provide ambulance on some plans.

Also, remember to get private health insurance if you're earning over $90k as an individual or $180k as a couple. If you don't, you'll have to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge during tax season and the minimum charge us 1% but could go up to 1.5%. See more details below. Cheers!


As Australian residents we all have the right to health care through Medicare, a system partly funded by taxpayers, many of whom pay a Medicare levy of 2% of their taxable income. Your Medicare levy is reduced if your taxable income is below a certain threshold, meaning that some people may not have to pay the levy at all.

However, if you don’t have appropriate hospital cover and your annual income* is over $90,000 as a single, or over $180,000 as a couple/family then you could also be hit with the MLS. The family income threshold is increased by $1,500 for each MLS dependent child after the first child.

This means, when tax time rolls around, that recent pay rise that just tipped you over $90,000 suddenly isn’t looking so flash. That’s because the MLS starts at 1% and, if your annual income* continues to increase, it can be up to 1.5%. Certainly enough to make your eyes water.

But, if your annual income* is over the above thresholds and you take out ahm hospital cover you can wave goodbye to the MLS and say hello to a healthy peace of mind and, potentially, save some money at the same time. Talk about a win-win
