hi folks,
how did you all pay for visa's etc?
I am about to send off my nursing assessment, and the payment is for $550 - do I send a bankers draft (not got credit card), will my bank do this in aus$, or is there some other way?

confused, as usual...!

thanks

Can you send them an International Money Order?

Hi Sue
The bank will do the bankers draft in aus dollars. It normally takes about 3 days. Thomas cook would do the draft quicker but they rip you off on the exchange rate.
Don't know if you can use a credit card, never tried.

Good luck.

Cheers.

We used credit card for both skills and visa - no probs and you know when they've got it as they charge the card.

I paid by Building Society cheque, had it made out in dollars, took about 3 days for order and cost about a tenner. The only good thing about paying by credit card is that you know all your stuff has arrived in Oz, when you get charged on your credit card bill........

same here..... for the tra we sent a building society cheque..... ordered it ova the fone and they posted it to us....... charged us a tenner too.....

we did use our visa for the main application.....£707 or somethin like that...... for the same reason...... ya know when it's charged......- bit like a drive thro at macdonalds..... ie Mc quick!!!!!!

love boomie

For those of you who paid by credit card, are you doing the application yourselves or using an agency. We are using an agency but like the idea of paying by credit card because like you say you know it has been received in Adelaide then.

Thanks

Sue,

HSBC did me a bankers draft on the spot. Took about 20 mins and it cost £12.
