Re: E-3 Visa for Australians Thread- It's all in here

Hi Ian,

No, it's not fraud at all - at least not in Australia. It's done a lot in Australia by foreign contractors. I would be working full-time for the Umbrella company and being sent to third...

Re: Withholding tax = $0, how much should I pay?

Yes, TN status. The company has lots of Canadian contractors so I assume/hope they've sorted out that out.

Thanks so much for all the info, we shall investigate.

Re: Withholding tax = $0, how much should I pay?

Thanks, but the employer doesn't want to handle the tax, says it's up to the contractors. Calculating the amount isn't the problem, it's more about whether the IRS gets shirty if you wait too long....

Re: Girlfriend in the USA

Not at all, not at all. The USA wants, likes and actively encourages tourists. And why not, I'm only adding to the economy and taking nothing away from it. They allow stays of up to 90 days, so...

Re: Girlfriend in the USA

I'm not going to say 90 days, usually I just say a few weeks if asked. And who's to say, maybe I will only stay a few weeks. That's a good thing about travelling with a flexible one-way, you can set...

Re: Girlfriend in the USA

Thanks Duncan. I still don't believe they apply that in practice but the point is that they can so I had better get a return ticket.

I just went to the Virgin website and tried to book a one-way...

"Plus, isn't it cheaper to get a non-restricted return ticket that you can change the end date on if needed?"

I wouldn't think so. I usually get the cheapest available one-ways.

Hmm, not sure if Virgin would ask to see a return ticket if you were flying with them, surely if you had one they'd know about it?

It happened to me recently in Canada, I came in on a one-way, the...

Hi Duncan,
I've visited the USA nearly every year for the last 10 years on visa waiver and they have never asked for return tickets - until last year. Then I had two one-way tickets, one in and one...

Re: Luxembourg - where to live?

No, I already have a European passport.

I was thinking Belgium would be popular - smaller country, less bureaucracy, people more likely to speak English.

Re: Luxembourg - where to live?

My preferences are lower taxes and less hassles! Do you know which one most ex-pats (esp Brits) gravitate towards?

You're very wise to keep your Dutch passport renewed.

Whether you'd consider Port Gentil expensive depends on what you're comparing it to. I haven't been there for a while but it's a large town and so I always reason if others on much lower pay can live...
