Re: $140 debt in Australia but I have moved back to the UK.

Re: Getting a photo album sent over to Aus - import tax?

Update is that it arrived with no problem at all. The photographer valued it at under $1000 and sent it guaranteed delivery and I am very happy with it!

Re: 457 visa for British baby born in Australia

That's a pain :frown: I was hoping we might be able to sort it out quicker without the agent.

Re: 457 visa for British baby born in Australia

That's cool, but what would I have to do to make sure she really has one? If I turn up at a DIAC office with birth certs, passports and copies of our visas, do you think they'd be able to verify it...
