mickjthom Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Australia seems to be having the same debate we're having in the UK. I think there will be a drive to reduce both temporay and permanent migration. Only hope I get there before the clampdown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the terry's Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 HI the Terry's just a quicky, how long did u have from getting yr visa to having to go out and get then validated? cheers Terry Hi Terry, Well we got our 176 visa July '08 and had to validate by 13th March '09. Not long really but this was based on when we had our PC's done, (med's were done a bit later). It seems a long time but trust me it's not, especially if you have to decided on whether to move by that time or just validate. Hope this helps.
