When Is The Best Time To Emigrate?
Many people who are wanting to emigrate ponder over when it may be best to make the big move. To be honest, I think that overthinking it can sometimes be to your detriment as you could talk yourself out of anything if you dither enough about it! I will put a disclaimer in here that I do have considerable previous for making many rash decisions and jumping in feet first before thinking of the finer details, but I also strongly believe that there are some compelling reasons why this may not be such a bad idea.
Seize the Moment: Life is short, and if you’ve ever learned this the hard way, you’ll know that you have to make the most of it. Embracing change and seizing the moment can lead to transformative experiences and personal growth. By choosing to emigrate to Australia sooner, you'll embark on a journey filled with new possibilities, enriching experiences, and endless adventures. I believe that this alone is enough reason to rip that band aid off!!
Who knows what the future holds: If you are eligible for a visa to work in Australia now, that’s hunky dory, but it doesn’t mean that this will be the case forever - occupation lists change and so do requirements. If you’re lucky enough to be eligible, then it may be a big risk not to act on it sharpish. Australia's job market is crying out for skilled workers…. now! By moving sooner, you get to capitalize on current market conditions and take advantage of high-demand opportunities in your field. Whether you're seeking employment in tech, healthcare, finance, or hospitality, acting while the iron is hot could significantly enhance your career prospects Down Under.
Don’t suffer another freezing cold winter: Australia's climate offers something for everyone, from sunny beaches to lush rainforests and desert. Granted many places in Australia do still encounter cold winters, some even get snow! - but if you’re heading to one of our year round warmer climates to escape the chill, then why wait?! When I lived in England I dreaded the winter, and getting that chill through my bones where I just couldn’t warm back up; now that we live in Queensland, winter is my favourite season - it’s a season where we can wear thongs (the type you wear on your feet!) accessorised with a scarf - it’s a vibe!
Start Building Your Aussie Dream: Delaying your emigration means postponing the fulfillment of your dreams. Whether you envision a daily beach visit, a close-knit community, or a laid-back lifestyle counting kangaroos while you do a Tim Tam Slam, now is the time to start building the life you desire in Australia. By taking action sooner, you get to lay the foundations for a brighter future and create lasting memories that will enrich your life for years to come.
Hardships are good for you too: If you worry that making the move too quickly may bring with it some difficulties, it is not the end of the world! Hardship and struggles are also a worthwhile experience, and finding your way out of them is both humbling and character building to say the least. I’m not saying it’s a good idea to deliberately put yourself into hardship, but if you find yourself facing difficulties, then you do what needs to be done to fix it, whatever country you are in.
Conclusion: While not everyone has the option to hop straight on the plane - maybe you need to work on your visa options first, or there’s a family crisis that needs you there right now, sometimes life just happens, but for those that do have the choice; I have never heard anyone say that they regret moving sooner rather than later! You may want to spend your time ironing out all of the finer details and making sure the timing of your emigration is ‘perfect’, but you may run the risk of missing out on so much more by holding out.
