In addition, you only get the migration baggage allowance of 40kgs provided you have not previously travelled on that visa.
I believe (from Singapore airlines and others) that our vaildation trip last Nov/Dec now means we cannot claim the migration allowance as this will not be the first time we have travelled on our PR visa.
They have agreed to give us an extra 10kgs each though as a goodwill gesture.
My husband is going to be thrilled to carry 60kgs of luggage plus hand luggage!!
