Initial Entry
 
Hi everyone,
We are coming to Melbourne at the end of November and this might seem like a stupid question but...

What happens on initial entry? Do you need any other documents etc..
Sorry sometimes the most simple things need explaining..

Thanks

Easy as ABC just turn up and get the all important stamp - the only thing to remember is whomever got the visa (my husband in our case) must get his stamp first to show he actually entered before you then its all legal !!

Good luck bet you can't wait.

We are loving life here - no regrets!!
