Re: business visa 163 anyone got a visa yet?
Hello to all 163ers. I have not posted for a while was busy in selling business and house.kept one property beacause it was hard to sell.
Anyway we are flying on 13 April from heathrow with singapore airlines and they did allowed us extra baggage alowance.First we are only allowed 20k on adults and 10k on infants but at end they allowed 25k for all passengers so ask them and they allow extra baggage.
Our shipment leaves for perth on 27 March so we are going through lot of motions specially my wife. I can understand leaving parents and family is never easy.Kids are excited.
It was very hard to let go our business because we put lot of hard work in to the business one of very emotional day of my life.Had lot of leaving and good luck cards from our customers.
we have sorted a rental in Beeliar for 6 weeks and hope to find a longer rental in that time. I have shortlisted few businesses which I am interested in.
I was going through old posts from this thread and I really felt good for all 163ers who have gain their PRs. Good luck to all.
Best regards
Goldie

We submitted our 890 application 31 December 2008. Nearly 6 months later having seen our 160 expire we are on a bridging visa until the case is dealt with. We have a CO but as far as I can tell all business visa PR applications are in limbo at the moment.
Anyone else in the same situation?

Re: business visa 163 anyone got a visa yet?
WA seems to be less affected than other parts of the world. We have seen coporate catering orders reduce quite dramatically during May but that does sometimes happen towards the end of the financial year. Luckily corporate ctaering is only about 20% of our business - but we have grown by about 100 % each year for the past 3 years and it would be nice to keep it going.
Musn't be greedy tho. But we have had a wonderful summer - and it's still going with temperatures in the 20s m ost days.
good luck

Well done Morgie,
I'm sure you will love the Gold Coast. Glad the thread has been of use to you - we have all gone a bit quiet nowadays - but that's really because most of the original posters have settled down in our new lives - so it shows that lla the grief was worth it.
cheers

We have been on the GC for just over 3 years and 14th August sees the 3rd anniversary of us owning our business here. Good luck with the move and dont forget the ocean is not the only place for sharks on the GC.
Dont hesitate to contact me if you need any info or help.

Re: business visa 163 anyone got a visa yet?
Hey all, we are just at the stage of preparing the PR application
- quick note to those as temp stage, keep a copy of your application, I obviously did, then got rid of it when we moved, you have to repeat most of the info, so would just be a bit quicker if you have it for reference.
My quick question is - did you get new UK police checks too or just aussie ones?
Jules - keep up to date with your blog, you are doing so well, teh hard slog is paying off is it? it is so hard to start, we are starting to turn the corner, 2 years on, but it has been soul destroying at times, starting from scratch, as long as you are prepared for that, you come out the other side.
thanks
