Default Passport from Australia House waiting times...

Hi all!

I sent off my passport (to get visa stuck in it) to Australia House in London last thursday, registered post so should have been with CO either on the friday or monday.

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long it took for you to receive the passport back

Thanks

You should get it back early next week, if not in the next couple of days. It usually takes them about 3-4 days to stick the visa in and send it back. I had to send mine from less than a mile away and had it back within the week.

Good luck out there

Thanks Deb

I was starting to get a bit anxious at the prospect of it getting lost in the post...

Man I hate waiting

Thank you!

But I just managed to get flights on Monday, they weren't already booked. I was really hoping to fly out Monday anyway, and I got lucky that the passport arrived just in time
