Hi

We are September applicants who got their 136 visa in March. We have sold our house subject to contract. We leave for Brisbane on 13th August.:eek:

Leave work at the end of May. Then the real work begins! Farewell party booked end July and packers booked.

Just sent an email requesting the extra baggage allowance with cathay pacific not too sure what the outcome will be but figured if you don't try...........!

Applied for ANZ bank account en route in post to Victoria Au only 73p not registered wow that would have saved a fortune not registering anything over the last few months (unfortunately not a risk I would have been willing to take).
Got quotes for shipping 5 metre cube boxes approx 25kgs each for 250pounds 300with 2 surf boards.

Cancelled all but 2credit cards and current account got all the online banking requests on order.
Never used the online options over here as it was just as easy to go to a branch or phone up.

6weeks from flying today so getting a list and all the letters ready for the 1month notice for mobile/electricity/gas/specsavers/gym contracts.

Oh and ebaying all my toys!

hi Aston,

Can I ask who you sorted out your money transfers with? That is the thing that worries me the most (well apart from when is my visa going to arrive :) ). It all sounds very complicated - or am I worrying for nothing?

Re: next step october thread
 

well,to be honest ,its worrying me but i know it will be o.k..i am using ozferex,at the top of the home page,,everyone else seems to rave about them..

it was quite easy,,i registered..then rang them..they sent me a form to download,,and then faxed it back with a copy of my latest bank statement,passport and the form and no before you ask ,you dont have to have all the copies signed.

Re: next step october thread
