Thank you, that's just what I need, plus for bars, I don't like taking my passport out. Thank you. And I will let you know. Any preference on which bank folk feel is one of the best for us British.. I have been to all, but would appreciate advice.

That's exactly what I want....thank you. As I need it for bar entry also..I don't like taking my passport out.

Haha. I won't....but thank you. Fingers crossed I will finally get accepted into paying my money into an account.

I did have to show my birth certificate when submitting all my information and I have an agent. ??

Oh great stuff that's what I need. But wasn't sure if I should due to awaiting my 457. Thanks for that.

Yeah, I have my birth certificate, and my 457 is almost approved, I have a contract and awaiting my Medicare number, but until I have a visa I'm stuck...I'm on a bridging visa. West pack suggested I get a tax number...and the letter from the tax number office sent to my home will count as a utility. It's just nothing can be done until I have a visa. I've spoken to all.. I'm getting there. Ha.

I've been to quite a few different banks...and yes I was told, but wanted other suggestions....I new my passport only made up so many point, however I don't have any other proof of identity to make up points to a 100. They want drivers licence, utility bill, phone bill or Medicare. I have non of these. I do have private medical insurance but it does not count My tenancy agreement isn't enough. But finding out my birth certificate counts is greatnews.

Thank you very much...everyone has been so helpful.

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, this is the problem, I have no document to cover the other 30points. Tenancy agreement not enough. I will try and find my birth certificate. I have no drivers licence. And phone or utility bills I have no proof as pay as you go and rent includes bills. That was what I was asking.. So it appears. A birth certificate with a passport should get me 100 points?? Thank you.

No, I am awaiting a 457 sponsorship visa. A passport isn't enough evidence after 6 weeks. My house rent includes utility bills. I have a pay as you go phone. All the banks need. Photo ID. ( not passport after 6 weeks) Utility bill Tax number Phone bill Visa I have only a passport at the moment. Is there anywhere I can get photo ID in sydney?

Hello. I apologise for being unclear. I am not able to say to much, hence my vague post But you have all answered my questions. I have signed a contract and awaiting my sponsorship 457 visa. Thank you.

Hi, sorry I am not clear. I'm rubbish on here I'm am being sponsored...I have a bridging visa with a company...how ever they are messing me around....I am skilled..and haven't signed a contract. Can I change jobs..or am I tied in with the company sponsoring me. I also want to stay but can't get a bank account unless I have, a tax number, or a sponsorship visa. Does this make sense ?

I am being sponsored, and my bridging visa is going through, but they are pushing me from puller to post, I feel very unstable, I'm worried I will be signed into a very unprofessional company. can I now stay here and find other work or am I indebted to this company to be able to stay in Oz

Hi I need a bank account I have been here 3 months and offered sponsorship, but..I have no photo ID. No utility bill or phone bill... I have a passport bridging visa in process and tenancy agreement how with out a drivers licence and tax number can I apply.
