Hi All

I am hoping you can help!

Our situation - we have 176 visa lodged and are int he final stages as med and PCC's have been requested and completed. We are hoping to move as soon as the visa comes throughas we have nothing to stop us, however we cant go until November due to the 6 months you need to wait for the dogs rabies time frame so that she only spends 1 month in quarantine.

We have decided to use Petair gold service, however I spoke with them via email this week about booking the quarentine as I know it gets booked up in advance so we want to book it now, however we are being told that we need an oz address to book it?! We are obviously not moving for several months and havent began looking at accomadation as we are not sure yet when we will be moving, we dont have any friends or family in Oz or jobs waiting for us, so how the heck can we provide an address?! If we wait until we have an address it will be very close to moving day and therefore the dog probably wont get a place for months?!

Has anyone else encountered this, or has any ideas on what to do? I would have thought there would be lots of people moving to Oz who havent sorted out a place to live until close to the date?

Thanks

Lisa

Hi

Apologies but I am struggling to understand this thread due to the volume of information (and acronyms!) and the number of responses.

My husband and I are applying for a 175 Visa but we are at the very early sdtages trying to get a practical assessment booked which is taking months through Vetasses!. Anyone else have problems at this stage as it just seems so slow!!!
