Visa advice needed - Australia/UK

Thanks!

All going well, moving into the upstairs flat of a property our friends own next week... Cheap rent, bills thrown in, two minute walk from the beach, pretty perfect...

I should be starting work next week... Bit of a change for me, I'll be working at Cascade Place, it's a day centre run by the Cerebral Palsy League... I'll be looking after clients mainly doing some music/visual arts stuff as well as going out fishing, sailing, gigs, pub trips, etc... Be nice to not be working for the man full time, I've still got work coming in from the UK which has been keeping me pretty busy as well...

Not regretting a thing, tho' I'm missing my buds and those long spring/summer nights at Le Reej... The perfect start!

Hey tories thanks for imposing immigration health surcharge of £200 per year on immigrants who have been paying NI for years at the time of visa application

You what now?

I think I've used NHS for about a couple of hours in total in 7 years here.

Ah, ok. So I don't need to worry but my mate returning from Oz to here does? Ta

Coming out here was the best decision I've ever made, love it... Looking at houses, just seen one we love that we can easily afford... By this time next week we may have put a cheeky offer in... #anotherdayinparadise #peninsulalife

dredge but a very insightful article: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/04/golden-visa-immigration-deal-british-citizenship-home-office

This bit especially is British bureaucracy in a nutshell:

Because the original investment is returned to the applicant along with any interest accrued, the state technically makes a loss on each visa.
