Marina G Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I applied on 16th of August for a working holiday visa. I received an email on 6th of September saying that I made a mistake on it. I then sent the correct information straight away but I am still waiting for my visa... I already booked my flight to Melbourne for the 25th of September that is why I am a bit concerned. I called the Global Service Centre but they told me they cannot do anything for me. If I still not receive my visa by the 25th I will go anyway however when I will receive it when I will be there, I heard that I will have to leave the country and then come back to activate it. Do you know if there is another option as it will be a cost to do that even if I choose a cheap Asian destination? Thank you for your help, Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkymalarky Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 the airline will not let you fly without a visa so you will have to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 You will not be allowed to board a flight without a visa. They are taking longer these days but in fairness you made a mistake. We all know never to book a flight until you have a visa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I would suggest contacting the airline urgently to see if they can change your flight to a later date. There will be a cost attached to it if they do but this may be your best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
