sophiesunny Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi All curious really - those with an electronic visa have you had it put in your passport also or not bothered? If you haven't has showing the grant letter been adequate or those who have has it been beneficial? Cheers guys. Sophie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Although its not strictly necessary to have a visa label in your passsport. I found that it helps when going for jobs etc as people know and trust the pink visa label :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 What does your visa grant letter say? If it gives you instructions to send off your passports to have the visa attached then you'll need to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadas Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 If you are in NSW and want a drivers licence you have to have a sticker. RTA will not accept e-visa. Given you can barely buy coffee without a drivers licence, you need a sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiesunny Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 It states you don't but hence my question i wondered how beneficial people have found putting it. We are Victoria - i'm going to get it put in a think, seems in long run it may help. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Get the visa sticker would be my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvar Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 All governmental and health departments use vevo. You visa is automatically stored on there, your grant notice has the details that's all you need to show, and the rest they can check through vevo. Medicare and centrelink use vevo too.

Guest Rebecca78 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi there. We received 176 e-visas and moved to Victoria just over a year ago. We don't have labels in our passports we just printed out our visa letter with the visa numbers on before we left the UK. Everyone we have had dealings with e.g. medicare, tax office, jobs, driving license, renting a house etc. just needed our visa numbers on the letter. No-one has ever asked us to provide the visa label. I too was worried about it before we left but no, we have never needed it. Also when we entered the country the PR visa was already attached to our passport numbers so again no need for the label. Hope this helps and good luck :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
