Visa validation - Going from India
Hi,
Visa validation is a costly affair especially if u r from India.
Considering, the job scenario, I am sure that many ppl from India who have received their PR visas are waiting for the economy to go north bound before moving to Australia especially when getting jobs from India in OZ companies is very tough and Indian economy is doing well. It implies that ppl will go for validation spend 4-5 days and come back and plan a move next year say in late 2010 or early 2011.
I was thinking of forming a group and fixing up dates for visa validation and going to airlines in a group of 20-30 ppl to negotiate the fares. This would certainly give us a cheaper deal.We can do the same for our stay. However, it again depends on when we want to go..I was thinking of going in March - April and coming out with common dates. Can we consolidate a list of ppl ready for this idea ? Please PM me or post on this forum..
Croc..

If you do set anything up, and people get involved, I do have to remind you and anyone else that this is on your own backs and is absolutely nothing to do with BE and should anything go pearshaped then it's still absolutely nothing to do with BE.
Not saying it would go pearshaped but have to put BEs perspective in so everyone understands.

Re: Visa validation - Going from India
I understand your point moneypenny. Coordination is very difficult and things can get awry. This is just a suggestion.It has nothing to do with BE.. If there are 8-10 ppl, it would make sense ..again it all depends on the priorities of ppl...

Just thought I should put that bit in early on. Good luck with it, if you can save any money it's worth doing.

Why cannot we take 1 month leave in India...go there and search for job in that time frame. Meanwhile we can stay together and save money as we will need money in the intial days keeping in mind we are not doing any job and preparing for interview. If things work for someone, they can stay there otherwise , we can come back...What do you say?
About my plans...I am still confused what to do. I got my PR back in July 2009...Now want to go there but not sure about job market there....its a risk to leave stable indian job and land with no job in this recession....and just validating visa is very costly for me....
let's share thoughts....PM me ur no. By the way I am in Pune and will travel to AUS alone for initial 2-3 months then I will call my family there....
