Question Expensive business applying for visa isnt it?

Does anyone have any ideas of ways to make extra money? I work 4 12hour shifts and then have four off. Have just applyed to become an Avon rep!!! Has anyone tried doing home work? Finding 1038 GBP every 3 months (agents fees) is a bit tricky. Plus then theres the shipping costs, dog transportation etc etc.

Your inspiration would be appreciated. Lol x :scared:

Personally I'd get a better agent, our fees were £1450 for the agent (plus Visa and TRA)

you're being ripped off...

Perhaps i exagerated. Its 1038 now then 1038 in 3 months for tra application, then medical fees etc then 1935ADollars when application is complete. That includes everything. About 3500gbp in total. Is that too expensive then? We are using Visa Bureau

What ever the fees you are paying i agree the whole visa process is very expensive.Even once the house is sold etc You are not as well off as you thought.Its all gonna cost a lot to set up a new life anywhere at the end of the day.
Good Luck with the working from home.Its not easy and there are so many home-working scams out there. Beware.!
You should be fine with Avon though.I think their cosmetics are really good.

Thanks for your reply and i agree its worth it in the end. I havent tried working from home yet. Dont know where to look. Anything to keep me from browsing ebay. I think i am addicted. Do you think there is an ebay annonymous club???

Mine too. He's the buggar that got me addicted!! Only difference is i buy useful things for the home such as bargain sofas for 30 pounds. He spends 300 on his dj equipment!!!! Perhaps if i auction him i could make some money for the visa fees!!!

We get a betterware cataloge put through our door which always seems OK. I have ordered stuff through it and its been good. I think they work in the the same sort of way as Avon but with household items.

Or how about selling on ebay rather than buying . We've made a lot more than we expected selling stuff we don't need on ebay plus we also save shipping money by no longer owning the item.

yes we do sell on ebay but still need most things at the mo. Will get busy towards the end. We do still have a house in France to sell so that should raise some cash.

Will look in to betterware. Thankyou
