Re: What to say if asked the purpose of my visit

On the landing card I filled in the duration of my stay; 3 days. And I left blank the "Purpose of your visit" checkboxes, and decided to just ask the lady at immigration. But when I got to...

Re: What to say if asked the purpose of my visit

George thanks for the reply. It is a white collar position - IT. I'll have my laptop with me (tools of my trade ;)) but I also have a return ticket for three days later.

Will update here later...

Re: What to say if asked the purpose of my visit

Re: Police clearance cert - valid for how long?

Thanks CDM - I get it now. In our case, we're standing on the dock with bags in hand ready to go! So I'll try with the older PCC - because that'll save us almost a month of going nowhere fast! ;-)

Re: Police clearance cert - valid for how long?

Sorry I don't get it. Maybe I'm being a bit thick... can you clarify? ...if my PCC was Aug 08 and I submit an application for a visa (looking at company sponsored visa here, e.g. 457) and if the...

Re: GSM 175 received job offer - can I get the visa faster?

Hey Garry,

Some questions about ENS:

1. Who applies for the conversion from 175 to ENS?

Re: GSM 175 received job offer - can I get the visa faster?
