Is there a particular reason you've chosen Darwin ? Its a small town, 130k, so opportunities are limited compared to the other state capitals, and the tropical climate can take some getting used to, particularly the humidity in the wet season.

Hi, we have chosen Darwin as my wife has had an interview here in Ireland and was offered a great position and wage under the 457 visa category. Her employer has also offered to pay for our flights and the visas which will be processed by an immigration agent. So it's a great opportunity, plus we come from a really small town of 8,000 on Ireland so to us it will feel pretty big.

What would we need to bring with us in order to apply for permanent residency later on

Hi, we are relocating to Darwin this week, an Irish couple with a 5 month old daughter. How are you getting on with your move? Have you done much research regarding accommodation? My company is supplying temporary accommodation for 4 weeks. We would like to get renting sooner rather than later, we hear that the palmerston area is nice, but we are not sure exactly which suburbs within it are best, everyone has different opinions. When are you arriving?

Hi we are waiting for visas but we should be in Darwin by June or July the latest, as that is the busy season and my wife's employer would like her there by then. Not sure about accommodation, we have been looking on line but we can't make any decision until we get the visa. We were going to get short term accommodation and find somewhere when we get there but my wife's employer has advised to try and rent somewhere before we get there. We have been looking at places nearer to Darwin like Stuart Park, Parap, night cliff as schools are good in theses areas and my wife will be working unsociable hours so it would be good to be near her place of work At least for the first year. But who knows once we get the visa we might have to take what is on offer, its a tough decision alright. Keep
In touch and let me know how you are getting on maybe you could give us some advice when you get there and we could meet up.
