Guest The Thomsons Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Do you still need to get your visas in your passports now that this info is held electronically?
suzy+1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 We still had to yes, i just sent off passports-back within the week.
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 That's good news I assumed we had to go to Autralia House (or Koala House as DS calls it) -a 1000 mile round trip for us! Mind you I'd walk 1000 miles for our visa! Jules x
suzy+1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I would have gone in person to be on the safe side but it was written somewhere at the time that you couldnt go in person to get it done-had to be posted, atleast the turn around was quick.
keily Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Yep ...just pop them in a silver envelope and include your visa grant letter and a self addressed silver envelope ...total cost about £10 ...ours were back within 5 days !!! Mrs keily
Guest heieup Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Yup you have to get the sticker put in, you send your passport off in the recorded delivery envelope and it should be back within the week.
Herbster Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Do you still need to get your visas in your passports now that this info is held electronically? Yes! And if you think about it you'll need that sticker in your passport for lots of reasons besides getting into OZ! It really is your Passport, and you'll probably fall in love with it when you see it! If it's a Perm one, then you'll need to show it when it comes time to buy a house, etc... it was hard won, so you like to show it off when you can!! It's sooo exciting when it returns - I had to tell the Postie what it was! Then when you open your Passport for the first time, search for it with bated breath - my OH was convinced they'd forget to put his in - pessimist that he is!! But it was there - both there, in a weird place, we thought, but who cares, we've got it!!!! :biglaugh: Enjoy All that IT Means... X
