Bond requested.
We have today received the $100000 bond request.
Can anybody recommend whether any authority is best to lodge the bond with? ie. best rates, efficiency etc. What is the best way to get the money to them? also I don't understand the request on the letter which states that we have to provide certified evidence that we have forwarded the form to a relevant authority. (Does this mean a posting receipt)?

Me too. I have been requested by Adelaide to claim bonus point by investment as I do not have sufficient points.

sorry I can't answer your question, but I would love to know how long you had to wait after your medicals before you were asked for the bond.

As for the interest rates we didn't really compared so we can't comment because we thought they would be pretty much the same.
With the certified evidence it is a bit confusing I think we got a Proof of posting and sent that to ASPC in Adelaide with certificated copies of the forms and had no peoblems.
Hope this helps

Dear Jo,
We had a bit of a vague job offer when we originally applied in April, so we added that if it was not acceptable to claim the extra 5 points, we would make the capital investment bond. They asked for the bond within a week of receiving medicals and Police checks.

We received our bond request 7 days after submitting police checks. Naturally medicals went earlier given that the police checks took some 50 days to arrive.
We went with SA as their rate of interest was the highest. I basically emailed the four treasuries and got a very quick response from all of them. I was very impressed with SA as we received our visa after two weeks from the date of lodging our funds.
As for the certified evidence, we basically emailed our case officer confirming the date the funds had been lodged and the name of the person from SA Treasury dealing with the matter. We also asked the person from SA Treasury to email us once funds had been received and when he did, we forwarded his email to our case officer.
I hope this helps.
Not long now!

How did you send the money to them, was it direct to SA by telegraphic transfer?

We lodged the funds through our own bank.
To add, we faxed the SA application form together with Dimias form to SA a day before we lodged the funds and then posted the originals of these off to SA.

We have just done the bond thing, we did it via the Commonwealth Bank Queen Victoria St, in London, they will advice you about opening uk and Oz bank accts in order for you to transfer the money, we went with WA, the interst rate was 4% which is ok and their treasury has close links with the commonwealth Bank (same building). Par 3 of yr bond form is the part that the treasury forwards to DIMA as a receipt, hopefuly viza arrives soon after yipee

Contact details for the State and Territory Treasury Corporations are here:

Re confirming to the DIMIA that you have forwarded the form: send the form to your chosen Treasury Corporation by International Recorded Delivery and obtain a certified copy of the slip given to you by the Post Office, and send this to your case officer.
Hope this helps.
