That would be the way to go; as far as I'm aware, I don't think
there's any other way for entry into Australia from Singapore. It's
easier if you have relatives here, or have capital to inject into
the Australian economy (business investment provision or something,
forgot sorry).
The time taken to do the application is considerable; of course you
would have to make provisions for work, family, education etc.
Don't forget that migration is subject to alot of other preconds.
amongst them are health related issues - you will have to undergo a
thorough medical checkup, and then you would have to submit your
financials if I recall ... to assess your liquidity and financial
health.
Before any of you decide to make a leap of faith, life here is very
different. All that fun and excitement, the exhiliration of
starting a new life ... that will wear out.
I've been here since I was a kid .. but I go back to Singapore
often enough for me to still acknowledge my roots; now that I'm an
adult, I still make my way home every year. I love Australia, and
in many ways, it's better than Singapore but nothing feels like
home.
