Moving overseas in 12-24 months

Good news if you're not moving for more than a year – you may just need it! South African visas take 12 to 24 months, and Canadian visas 24 to 48 months to obtain.  To make things trickier the Australian medical examination is only valid for twelve months. So if your visa is not processed in this time, you must undergo another complete medical examination.

To start the visa application process give Crown Relocations a call or get in touch with the embassy or consulate of the country you wish to move to. Ensure the passports of everyone in the family are up to date before doing this.

With over a year to go you’ll have a chance to go on a ‘fact finding’ holiday - seeing a place for yourself can make decisions on housing and schooling so much easier. Seeing a place in the depths of winter can give you that all important reality check!
