Living in the United States.
Moving to USA marks the beginning of a new chapter. With every opportunity we create and every connection we build, we help you navigate the complexities of relocation, making your move seamless and your transition smoother.
Starting your life in America
Opening your first bank account typically requires a valid passport, proof of US address, and a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Renting an apartment typically requires a lease agreement, often for 12 months, along with a security deposit and sometimes the first and last month’s rent upfront
You can drive using your Australian license temporarily, but you will need to obtain a state-specific driver’s license if you’re staying long-term, usually within a few months of moving.
You can apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) once you have secured employment and hold a valid work visa, like the E-3 visa. To get an SSN, you need to visit a Social Security Administration office with your work visa, job offer letter, passport, and completed SSN application form.
Learning the American Culture
In contrast to Australia, where tipping is rare, tipping 15-20% in the US is standard, especially in restaurants and bars, as service workers rely on tips for a significant part of their income.
Healthcare operates primarily through private insurance, which is often provided by employers or purchased individually. Unlike Australia’s public healthcare system, medical treatment in the US can be expensive without insurance, making it crucial to have coverage.
In the US, sales tax is added at the point of purchase, unlike Australia where GST is included in the listed price. Tax rates vary by state, so the final price at checkout is often higher than the marked price.
There are approximately 90,000 Australians living in the United States, either as permanent residents, temporary workers, or students. Popular cities for Australians to settle in include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
