JULIE RYCROFT Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am supposed to be starting a job in perth in October and will apply for the 457 visa in July. Can I ship my stuff before I apply for the visa coz it takes 3 months to ship over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattley Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The shipping agency will need to see either your Australasian passport or your visa before they will accept your goods so you will have to wait. They need to see proof that you have the right to move your gear over there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconcannon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We've been advised that the shipping of our 10 or so boxes & a TV will take 8-12weeks & then about another 7-10 days for it to clear customs & arrive at our front door. So in answer to your question, yes I would definitely send your stuff now. Self storage units are mega cheap in Australia so if your stuff arrives before you, you can get it delivered to your unit & then collect it when you're ready.
