  1. Hi, thanks so much for the information! I definitely had not considered it would take more then a day as I assumed it was one flight through. Will definitely speak to dogtainers once we have made more of a decision on the move
  2. Hi we are thinking of moving back to the Uk from Australia and would like to take our 2yo dog with us. We are in Sydney and want to go to Manchester or London. our dog is very nervous of people he doesn’t know so please if anyone ha recommendations for companies who are good at dealing with this and do you think less stops would be better for him? Ie if we flew out of Perth?
  3. can I ask who you used for the pet transport that is currently operating?
  4. Hi we are supposed to be getting married back in the uk next year. We currently live in Sydney and will continue to do so after getting married. My partner is Australian and eu dual citizen so can do so without an issue at the moment. Anyone know where we can get some free advice on the impact Brecht might have on this?
  5. Hi, I am currently a UK resident but will be moving to Oz in March. We are planning a wedding in the UK for next year and I was wondering if anyone knew of wedding insurance that allowed you to be non resident. Alternatively if I take the insurance out now while I am a resident does this satisfy the condition or do we have to be resident the whole time? Alternatively any good Oz insurance companies that are not too expensive for destination weddings?
  6. We uploaded any communication such as phone records/facebook chats, bank statements and any joint holidays/invitations etc to show the continuing relationship while we waited for the decision.
  7. Hi Jon, We have just gone through all this as well! we didn't have to pay a pet bond but do ask about strata approval, we made it a condition in our rental contract as they have the power to refuse the pet just like the landlord. We dont have water included as the property is individually metered but some of the ones we looked at it was included. They all included the strata fees as I believe the landlord legally has to pay this and the council rates.
  8. Just received my golden email 309 immediately followed by 100 visa grant! no prior contact, we applied 30th June I am flying out 30th December for a visit and March for good, applied evisitor visa a few weeks ago but that's not needed anymore!! So excited
  9. We will be close by this area in Marsfield :) will be great mix of leafy suburb but not too far to the city once the metro line is up and running hopefully
  10. If you open the account while still in the UK, do you need to wait for a residency visa before you can pick up the card and start using the account? or can you do this without Aus residency?
  11. Congratulations! really good to still see some coming through. I applied for my tourist visa on the 9th and after an anxious few days wait (all the others were instant grant) we got that through this morning so at least I know I can visit my partner over the holidays :) Still no contact on the 309 visa front, I will now upload my flight and visit details to my immiaccount though so they are aware I will be onshore at those times in a vain hope this would mean they would grant before I go :p
  12. We are also waiting for our 309/100 applied end of June. We have had no contact so far, no request for further information. I am hoping to reapply for my normal tourist visa shortly as I will go out for a visit end of December through January and again end of March :)
  13. I am hoping to travel over for a visit in December but only for a month so will apply for the evisitor visa. I will then travel back again end of march for a few months to visit once I have finished up my current job. My partner has already gone out as his new job has already started so I am looking forward to the holiday time to visit and see the new house that he has organised in my absence!
  14. Raul sorry not my intention, I was thinking if I get a visa and visit for one month in Jan and then for just under three months from March would this be ok on this type of visa, or is it 90 days cumulative within a year?
  15. Thanks everyone for your help with clarifying. For the 1 year visitor visas are they dated from when their granted or can you apply in advance?
  16. Hi, I am looking at the evisitor visa 651. It says multiple entry for 12months upto 3 months each trip. Does anyone know how long you need to leave for in between each 3 month trip? So could you go for 3 months then go to New Zealand for a week and back to Aus for 3 more months?
  17. we are hopefully making the move from the UK to Sydney for my partners work. Family are asking if it is possible to send us gifts (such as clothes etc) and care packages of some of our favourite foods? Does anyone know of good companies for this and if there is anything to avoid such as wrapping the gifts?
  18. Hi Everyone, we are moving to Sydney form the UK and I am looking for some advice on the best way to find good deals on our household bills. I currently subscribe to money saving expert and have several websites I like to use like USwitch and energy club to find good rates. Please could you let me know any good sites for getting the best broadband, phone sim, utilities, insurance deals? Also whether paid TV subscriptions are needed to watch Game of Thrones or if there is something similar to Now Tv that allows you to pay per month? Thanks in advance for any help/recommendations
  19. Hi, We are applying for a partner visa offshore. We currently have 5 stat decs, and waiting for one to get certified. Can we upload this additional one after we submit the application or do all documents have to be uploaded at the same time? We have been gathering all our evidence which is now in order and have almost completed the form online so was hoping to be able to submit this week.
  20. Hi, For the question about previous relationships, does this just include marriage? I briefly lived together with someone many years ago but we never shared bank accounts etc so I would not have considered it a de facto relationship?
  21. I am currently subscribed to money saving expert in the UK and use a cashback site regularly on all of our travel and online buys to help with our budget as much as possible. Please can anyone suggest a good Australian cashback site to sign up for and also if there are any newsletters/sites like Money saving expert in Aus I can subscribe too for tips on saving money on insurance/phones/ best buy bank accounts etc
  22. Hi, We are looking at moving over to Sydney for a job near the Macquarie University train station. We would need to be able to commute by public transport from our new place hoping to be around 30mins each way. We are ideally looking for somewhere with some nice green parks/areas to go walking in as we hope to get a dog and nearby shops or pubs with good food would be a bonus (10/15 min walk). We have a budget of upto $650 a week for a 2 bed for a couple. Any ideas of areas to look in would be appreciated.
