Validation Trip by Tourist Agency
Hi,
I'm looking for tourist agencies who are specialized in validation trips to Australia. Does this kind of agencies exist? Any web sites/contact information?
Any experience in that regards is appreciated.
Thanks!

Bye now. I can hear the moderators coming after me. I'm not supposed to advertise my own business here you know, against forum policy. But, sometimes I just can't help.

Re: Validation Trip by Tourist Agency
To validate you just need to arrive in Aus- so the easy thing to do is book a flight and a hotel independently...

Re: Validation Trip by Tourist Agency
It will be a validation trip and a search-for-job trip at the same time. I have been told that searching for a job remotely is quite impossible. I can see now that this is true after receiving zero response for many submissions.
I presume at least one month is required. To book a hotel for one month is quite expensive. That's why I'm looking for "packages" option.
Does anyone know if such options are available? Motel/Apartment/Studio rent for one-month?
Thanks!

You can rent an apartment as a holiday let, for a month. We did that when we came over before we found a long term rental.

I've heard of some people who fly over, get the stamp in immigration, go back through departures and fly back in the same day.....

Wouldn't give you time to get a job though would it? Unless you were after employment at Maccas in the arrivals hall
