Working Holiday Visa aye?

He will do for medical/travel etc yes.

I used insureandgo.com a few years ago. Was a good price for good cover for the full year. It's called Gap Year insurance.

All good mate!

Aye seen your other thread.

I reckon for your case professional help would be a good investment but those prices do seem high. Have seen the agents mentioned on that thread helping out on here so seem sound enough.

Thankfully mine is straightforward so should be able to get through it alone

Good luck Norm and if ye need owt give me a shout here or the SMB. Went to Oz on a WHV meself a few years ago.

Really, would you not suggest cutting the middle man out and doing it myself. I mean the 163 visa?

I today contacted Ian Harrop but he does not do business start up visas, has recommended me a Richard Gregan? Heard of him?

Butting in here but if Ian has recommended someone I'd be happy to use him.

I don't know anything about different agents marra other than I see some of them helping out on here.

Our visa should be a straightforward employer nominated visa. Wife has job offer, employer has sponsored many before, both young and healthy etc. So I'm not looking to use an agent.

But I would have thought for a business visa like that it could be quite complicated and would have to ensure you put your best case forward. So some experienced eyes to go through it would help and if you are desperate to go I'd say it would be worth paying for.
