E-mail visa - Good enough??
Hi,
Have received the electronic confirmation of our visa from the relevant office.
My agent advised me that this is Ok to travel with (it also mentions this in the body of the e-mail). Is this the normal proctice? Or should I go and get my passport updated?

I entered Australia in this way 5 weeks ago on 457 - so take comfort in personal experience.
