Holiday / Visa Validation - When to go?
Hi,
As you may have read, we've decided to wait until the wife has done her Nurse Training before going Down Under for good.
Now, assuming we get our PR Visa granted we'll have to go to OZ for a holiday to validate them.
My sponsor lives outside Melbourne so the majority of time will be spent there but we are possibly going to live in Brisbane so we will probably spend a week up there also.
The question is - What time of year should we go?
Summer here - kids off on 6 weeks hols so no taking them out of school + we will see how cold/wet Melbourne is in Winter there.
Flights cheaper?
Winter here - kids only off for 2 weeks +see how hot it gets in Brisbane in their summer. Flights dearer.
Anytime, who cares? Get the PR Visa and go ASAP to validate it!
Of course, being self employed and not getting paid while I'm off, and the fact that there are 5 of us (5 air fares etc. etc.) means that we've got to save an absolute fortune before we can go anyway!
