Hi Guys

 

We have flights on hold until 3pm today to fly out on Oct 13th (5 weeks Monday)But as you know we still have NO visa yet!

Our agent knows the situation that we are in and is very confident that it will all slot into place and the visa will be sorted intime for us to fly out on Oct 13th ...BUT there is NO guarantee obviously!

 

We have so much going on at the moment .........would't know where to begin and have found ourselves in a bit of a no win situation wthout going into all the details!

 

We have to decide wether to take the gamble everything will come together in time OR we will have no choice but to go for plan B : which is "if" we still have no visa by the 13th Oct then we will still have to fly out on a straight forward long stay visa (or whatever it's called)and when our agent does contact us to tell us that the visa is sorted we will have to either hop over to New Zealand for 5-7 days or Fiji to be officialy out of Australia before we can get the "golden ticket" stamped into our passports!

 

Apart from the obvious added cost of doing this we have been assured by our agent that will be very straight forward!

 

Has anybody else done this or know of anybody that has?

 

Advice or info very much appreciated!

it all sounds very complicated, i reckon in oz the big decision maker has bets on which pomms he can cause the most stress,they place their bets & who ever losses provides the tinnies at the next barbi,

 

good luck with it all (although its a bit of a risk when your asked to send Your passports off )

WOW!!! :notworthy: I think everyone is watching for your "YIPPEE GOT VISA" thread at the moment, its better than watching the soaps being on here. Keeping everything crossed you get your visa in time.

I'm not sure, but I think that you have to tell DIMIA that you are in Australia, and before you apply for the eta, otherwise you may inadvertently cancel your proper visa when applying!

I vaguely remember reading about this somewhere.

Just make sure you do everything in the right order.

Thanks for info but our agent seems to know what he's doing and who needs notifying and what we need proof of to do it this way!

He has sent his last 3 clients out this way for similar reasons!

Apparently everything is computer linked so we will be well checked out for sure!

 

Thanks for advise though.............and i really am hoping and praying that we won't have to go to this stage and that the visa will be kind enough to arrive soon!

Cunnah, don't panic, I actually think your agent is right as you have 3 months in the country before your 2 day excursion to NZ, then you get another 3 months, so you will EASILY get it within 6 months if not 3, I overstayed my Visa while I was there and handed ,myself into immigration, they said that I was the first person EVER they had known to do so and laughing at me gave me another 1 week stamp (the olympics were on but they knew I was lying when I said all the flights were full they just enjoyed the situation even more!).

I would certainly NOT recommend some people who will for a small fee take your passports and get them stamped so you don't even have to leave the country, these people are plentyful and not one person I knew doing such a thing had a problem with their passports being stolen etc they were all returned stamped and paid for but if you intend to live there don't risk it (not that I would ever insinuate you would take such a path of course!) but overall don't worry about it!!
