If you are a temporary resident, then the FIRB (to who...

Re: validating

You all need to go. Hubby must enter first - i.e present his passport before the rest of the family present theirs.

Re: Do DIMIA contact your work

If you are a British citizen, based in the UK, the chances are very slim that your employer will be contacted - but it's always possible. If, on the other hand you are, for example, of Indian...

Re: Stni Sa - Can You Work In Another State

This one has been done to death - try a forum search.

Re: Life Insurance

Our life assurance policies with Norwich Union are valid even if we emigrate. I specifically asked them this when I took out the policy. They remain valid as long as we are living in 'safe' countries...

Re: What food do they take off you as you enter?

Chocolates, biscuits and the such like are fine, as long as the packet hasn't been opened. Anything cooked is generally ok - again as long as it's not been opened. Anything uncooked (e.g. fruit) is a...

Re: Melbourne - Westpac or CBA?

Ok - I was trying to be impartial, but I also work for NAB (in London), although I'm currently over in Melbourne for a business trip. So NAB then.

Re: Melbourne - Westpac or CBA?

Take your pick - NAB, CBA, Westpac, ANZ. People seem to have strong preferences, but to me they are all much of a muchness and all c**p compared to UK banks - yes, I know that's hard to believe, but...

Re: Self employed tax returns evidence for DIMIA

Yeah, but the point is that even if they are done by a chartered accountant, that does not automatically make tham audited. Most accountants will ask whether you want the accounts audtied or not. If...

Re: Self employed tax returns evidence for DIMIA

Anyone who is self-employed, or runs their own small company/business should have their accounts audited, even though it is not a legal requirement.

For electronic visas (ETA) - just put the dates and 'ETA' where it asks for the number.
