Intial Entry - Insurance,Documents,Bank Acc.
Hello Folks,
I had got my 175 on Oct 2010. With the intial entry no later by April 2010. I am planning to visit Australia on March 2010 with my family comprising of my wife and my kid.
I would be staying in Australia for a period of 3-4 days just a brief holiday.
Please let me know if some one has any experience on the below -
1. Do I need to take Travellers Medical Insurance or if any issues can we go to any goverment hospital and would we be covered since we are having PR ?
2. If we need a travellers Insurance can some one suggest if we could buy something after reaching there or some good agency in India ?
3. I hope the documents needed for intial travel would be the visa evidenced passport ( obviously ) and the Grant letter. Any other document ?
4. Can we open a bank account, zero interest bearing to avoid any taxation issues as we intend to move to Australia say by 2010 end , with our passport and address as our Hotel one ?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks
HW

Answer: I dont know about this. Wait for others to answer this.
3. I hope the documents needed for intial travel would be the visa evidenced passport ( obviously ) and the Grant letter. Any other document ?
Answer: Your visa stamped passport is enough.
4. Can we open a bank account, zero interest bearing to avoid any taxation issues as we intend to move to Australia say by 2010 end , with our passport and address as our Hotel one ?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
