irishdancing Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi everyone not been on here for months, how is everyone? has everyone gotton visas and moved? We are planning to go out for a holiday to stamp visa as not enough money saved up to go permenantly (our friends moved in aug and spent lots). We plan on staying in scotland at least until end of year maybe into next but visa needs to be stamped before june. What happens when u go over to stamp? we going in next few months. I have not sent our passports away to have visa in, my friend never either. Can someone please help me on this situation, quite scary ha ha x hi do you have to send passports away to get visa on it, i though it was all done automaticlly now can someone please verify this for me please!!! :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensdad Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Personal choice but it is easier to have the stamp for extra baggage at airport, getting oz drivers license etc. Loving Fremantle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB2011 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hi Guys, We leave next week and have a property rented so we have a home when we get there but no furniture until end of the month. With the stamp in the visa, I decided to send it off a couple of weeks ago just incase. We sent it on the monday and had it back by the wednesday. You dont have to get one but does make it easier for things like applying for medicare and driving licence. Am hoping we could arrange a meet up in the near future if anyone is interested.

irishdancing Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 where do you send passports for the stamp to be put in them and how long do they take to come back? thanks x Send your passport by secure mail (Special Delivery silver pouch recommended for clients in the UK) to: Visa Evidencing Unit Migration Branch Australian High Commission Strand London WC2B 4LA Once your passport is received you can expect a turnaround of around 3 to 5 working days. Clients in Ireland can expect a longer turnaround because of additional postage time. This is where I sent my passports and they were back in 3 days Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
