Hi everyone,
We have completed our application including medicals etc. and have a case officer (we are applying for a 175). I have no idea how long our visa will take now. I am hoping that we will be able to move to Brisbane in September.
Does anyone know how easy it is to open a bank account and get a credit card oin Oz? Is it easy for them to do credit check?
Also if you have full no claims on your UK driving insurance will you be able to benfit from this in Oz?
Lastly, on a 175 what happens if you are granted your visa? Does it just arrive in the post? Sounds a really dumb question but we just don't know!
Thanks
