Moving for 3 months?
Hi we're here in oz on hols for 2 weeks, we probably won't qualify for a visa for some years yet but are really keen to get over here.
My OH and I both work for ourselves (most clientelle are in uk but the business is internet based), so work shouldn't be a massive problem. I was wondering if anyone had tried 3 month stays? I think the visiting visa would allow it? so at least until we qualify we would have something to look forward to each year, and it would also give us more of a realistic "can we hack it" approach. . . I wasn't expecting the family to love oz so much!!! I think i'll be in floods of tears when we have to go home next week :( |

Not hard to do just apply for 6 month tourist visa's.
Visa is valid for 12 months from date of issue. They are looking into getting a parent visa thinking this was the only way they could do the 6 months here, 6 months there. What do you do for accommodation?? Although i think they would stay with us and the other son |

Sounds like a good plan lol. Think my parents would like to do that too, although they're both working at present.
How easy is it to get accomodation for 3 month stays? Thanks Jenny |
