Re: going back for a visit

They certainly are - having moved home from Aus in 2023, I can assure you, they are good as ever!

Re: ToR1 question

I submitted a confirmed hotel booking for 3 weeks, along with a very scanty letter from a relative saying I could stay at their home if I still hadn't found a rental, Accepted straightaway.

Re: Wanting to transport a few smallish boxes to brisbane

Seven Seas have a good reputation for UK to Aus and vice versa. Worth asking them for a quote.

Re: Moving to the UK questions

I know the experts will need a bit more info first - what citizenship do the children currently hold where were they born? Is there another parent on the scene? :)

Re: Way to lose a license

I used to shake my head on disbelief at times - I remember one seriously bad day, years ago now, maybe 2013?; 4 or 5 kids, eldest was 14/15. They lived on a property inland from Mackay. Eldest used...

Re: Way to lose a license

Based on years working in Queensland's emergency services it sounds fairly typical of a large section of Australian society.......

Re: Advice moving back after 16 years in Australia

I could've written those 2 paragraphs 3 years ago.

Re: PR / RRV confusion

You can apply for a RRV offshore, many people do when they want to move back, but like I said above, the longer out of Aus, the harder it is to get one. The rest of the family being Aussies would go...

Re: PR / RRV confusion

Hiya :)

Ok, so to have RRV expiring in 2028, she must've been grated the 5 year one in 2023, and would have got 5 years on the basis that she had lived in Aus for 2 of the previous 5 years (so...

Re: North Lakes Murder - Emma Lovell

Agreed.
Many of us had issues of one kind or another in childhood, and I freely admit that many kids grew up in circumstances that the rest of us find it hard to imagine. But that doesn't give the...

Re: RRV Problem?

Yes, that's correct. I'm guessing you were issued a 1 year RRV? Unless of course it was a 5 year one granted a while before you entered Aus. You'll need to get a new RRV before you leave in order to...

Re: Moving my Son back at end of UK Year 10 (GCSE's)

There might also be the option of going to Sixth Form College for years 12/13, and studying BTECs, as well as GCSE resits if necessary, that might help for something like an electrician's role.

Re: Applying for a working holiday visa to Australia

Welcome to BE!
Firstly, as you probably know, you need to get your WHV before you are 35, so don't hang around!

Australia can be great to experience on a WHV, but be aware of the pitfalls too....

Re: Perplexed by passport office - thoughts needed

I would suggest a combination of overwork, a staff member who hasn't come across the situation before, and the fact it is an unusual situation.
