Guest WARDStoOZ Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi Katy! As far as I know... you don't have any "must get to Oz" date so to speak as the 457 visa is temporary so as long as you're in Oz before it expires (after four years) I think you should be fine... though I'm not 100% sure... Hope that helps... Regards, Dan x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prettyinpink Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes Dan is right, we moved out here on a 457. Once your visas have been granted, you just come out here when you're ready. Our visa approval come through via email and the only thing we had to do was visit the immigration place in the city within 90 of arriving to have the visas put into our passports. You don't have to 'validate' your visas if it's just a 457. Once we'd had our medicals, it took about 4 weeks before the visas came through. Hope that helps.

Hi Thanks for that some other poster asked for similar advice and a I told them the same but was told I was utterly wrong and that you had to send them to oz house in uk so if you read this ne ne ne ne ne:biglaugh: ally from kally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to send them to Oz House, as the visa grant number is linked to your passport number. We had no problems at immigration. However, I should correct my earlier post in which I said you had 90 days to have your visa evidenced in your passport. I was wrong, you infact have 30 days to have it put in just like Dodgy correctly posted. :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest katymary1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi, How long was it after your Visa was granted before you went?? Is the Visa valid for 4 years from approval or when you get out there? I have a job sponsor who is willing to wait for me, it's more for us arranging finishing dates for son at college/house sale etc?? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
