    fantastic news, when did you apply for it?

    how to choose?

    skippy79 replied to Flake's topic in Aussie Chat

    here's a thought... stay where you are, earning above average money and keep renting but buy an investment property somewhere else and rent it out, get's you on the property ladder.

    Just had a thought, and maybe someone here can help me/shed some light on the following We want to apply for a defacto visa next year, all pretty straight forward, except that when we apply we will be engaged, and probably while being processed we will be getting married, ( 2/9/17 ) would this have any effects on the visa process? my partner would want to have my surname.... We can get married months before at the town hall to make everything official just before we apply for the visa if this would be easier, but would prefer not to anyone an idea?

    sorry to bust your bubble pabby, but I'm pretty sure she'll only be able to get a whv at this point of time, and on a whv you won't be able to join her on her visa. your best bet would be for a holiday visa

    I know there were a few on here living around Airlie Beach, just though I'd try to see if anyone is still there? We should be moving there in 2018 and would be nice to already know someone there:cool:

    Does anyone know the time frame for a 309/100 visa? I've read quite a bit and some have had it in 4 months, others 8-10 months.. Just want to know when we should apply for OH visa. We will be leaving in july 2018, was thinking of applying early next year, Jan/feb 2017. Don't really want to spend another few grand on a quick trip

    If on the coast I would say you wouldn't need it, the only place we found cold at night while there in july was the blue mountains, for the rest it was fine, even at night on the gold coast it was around about 10/12 degrees. Maybe if inland and up higher I might get colder at night, but nothing like european winters

    We're looking to ship some hospitality stuff we have here in Belgium in our garage that we might use there, things like commercial stainless steel kitchen table, boxes with plates, boxes with glasses, some typical kitchen utensils and machines. Will be have to pay tax/gst on this? It's things we have, but also things I want to buy here in Europe (typical spainish plates) that we would want to uses in a restaurant/cafe. whats the deal with commercial things, It'll all look used :wink: anyone taken in any commercial stuff with their personal belongings?

    your second year you can do later, I know people that have travelled home first and applied for there visa several years later.. to OP'er, the answer is NO, you need your 88 days done in Australia otherwise it'll only be the one year visa!

    thanks Bob, So what you are saying is that there are airlines that will take french bulldogs? So worst case scenario is that it will caost a bit more and the dog will have to go through the UK... At least my daughter will be happy knowing he can come with us... I have seen the ipata shippers in belgium and contacted them, but so far 2 have said they won't ship french bulldog's and the other hasn't gotten back yet.. thanks for your time Bob :cool:

    We'll be using a company here in Brussels. Not sure which airlines but ermirates won't fly french bulldogs at all.

    Buy a car and caravan, use it for 6 months a year until you are too old.. spend a bit with the son and family, and then spend the rest exploring Oz, fantastic lifestyle if you ask me, although I do understand it isn't for everyone. While back in the UK get it serviced and then just store it somewhere
