Re: How long before you have to actually move once visa granted?

Re: My Friend Quits Australia after 100 Days

Yeah, should have waited until qualified for 175. Probably can't wait to get out of Singapore which ironically puts them back in Singapore. :p

Re: Criminal records

Well, you didn't serve time, so maybe it's not so bad. They even let in people with up to 2-year prison time (aggregate). You probably should consult an agent.
