Foind flights for 1800-1960 for 2 adults and 1 child travelling in March 2012. We had planned to take our car, which we will have had a year at the end of Feb 2012, but now we are wondering if we should just go! We have sold our house and are in rented, so not much really keeping us here. Think we will keep with the plan of March, although Terry keeps saying, how will you feel when we are waist deep in snow, unable to et out the drive again this year, like last year?! The flights were Quantas, BA from Glasgow to Heathrow, then singapore, then Perth. Or Singapore Airways, think thats what they are called, glasgow, heathrow, singapore, Perth. Hope to make a decision, and book by end of the week! Donna xx p.s Did everyone send off for the visa for their passport, and also cant see where it says we all have to enter Australia together?! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdk43 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi Everyone, Posted a thread on here earlier, but no replies as yet. Does anyone know if my husband and I can travel separately to Perth, my husband travelling first, and myself and daughter following on. I was the main applicant for the 176ss visa? Any ideas? No restrictions mentioned on visa grant letter that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, this is not my first choice, but wondered if it is even possible. Might e.mail DIAC tonight to check it out, can't seem to find the info on their website.

No restrictions mentioned on visa grant letter that I can see. The main applicant ought to be there first. Secondary applicant may follow on later date but must reach in AUS within the specified initial entry date. Another alternative may be like... your hubby reaches first but to arrange everything, later you (the main applicant) reach with your daughter and fulfill the initial entry requirements together. I guess your hubby is not allowed to report alone to record initial entry. But in this scenario you wont have much time in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya, I really can't find anything to say the secondary applicant can't travel first. We are probably gonna travel together. It feels the right thing to do, all travel together.

Guest prabinarippa Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 hai,,,can anyone tel me what next after job verification call,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensdad Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi the main applicant must be with you when you travel if your visa is not yet validated. This is to keep in line with your visa which has only been issued on the main applicants skills. Everyone else is along for the ride so to speak. So as long as the main applicant is either with you or validates first then everyone else can follow. You are then all free to come and go as you want for the period of your visa which on a 176 is five years. You must however validate by the date on your visa grant. If you get stamps put in your passport it I'd stamped on there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarab Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi guys - not been on here for a few week - congrats on the latest visa grants!! I am looking at flights & shipping. Any advice from anyone on whose the best to go with? Is it just Singapoor Airlines that do the extra baggage for 176 Visa's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thekelbos Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello everybody, wow looks like most of the group have got their visa's! Well we're now on count down, 6 weeks and 4 days and we'll be on our flight to Perth! The last couple of months have been hectic! Shipping booked, Anglo Pacific, got our flights with Qantas via Anglo Pacific. They give you a promo code to claim a migrant fare (includes 40kg baggage allowance) bit cheaper than a direct booking with the airline to. Accommodation is sorted till the end of January 2012. We are house sitting! Means we look after people's homes and pets, rent and bill free! We have secured two short ones, 6th December-29th December and then 29th December - 30th January. Cost $50AUD to sign up, provided reference from landlord and current CRB checks plus our police certificates and that was it. Its huge over there. So we decided whilst its just us, it'll be a great way to see different areas, save any money from wages and decide whether to use the money as a deposit on a house or rent somewhere more permanent. So how's everybody been? Anybody ready to go soon as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thekelbos Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi Sarab, Anglo Pacific we're great seemed to be the cheapest but really helpful to. We're just taking sentimental stuff so only 10 tea chest size boxes cost £590 they come and wrap, pack and take it away for you. Then delivered to your door in Oz. It takes about 8-10 weeks to arrive. So you can have it collected earlier and then it arrives as you do or later if your travelling about at first. Also via them you can access Migrant Fares from Qantas, for us it was £677 each with 40kg baggage allowance each. As well if you have opened a bank account with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia they can also give you access to the Migrant Fares at Qantas.
