Wellers and Whitehead Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Is validating your visa, just literally getting passport stamped through customs when you arrive in Oz?

Why have i heard of people having to go to NZ to go straight back to oZ? Whats that about? Ours was stamped,but it registers electronically even if not stamped,but yes its just getting it stamped. Dont know about your second question tbh,maybe have to leave oz to reapply for another WHV or visa maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellers and Whitehead Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks! Doesnt matter about second issue if it doesnt apply. Do all airlines give you extra luggage if on a 176? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its PR visa yes i think so,im on an old type visa PR 136 tbh(think its the 175 now),but i think once youve validated thats it,IE you only get the extra luggage once,unless you might find a deal?were shipping a small box tbh because of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have i heard of people having to go to NZ to go straight back to oZ? Whats that about? We are in Oz on a 457 temporary visa at the moment awaiting processing of our PR 176 visa. Because the 176 is an offshore visa we will have to leave Oz briefly to re enter on our new visa when granted. The case officer advises you of a pre grant to allow you to leave the country as it is not valid if issued onshore. Depending on what time of year it is granted we are planning on going snowboarding in NZ or relaxing in Fiji :cool: Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkew Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Do all airlines give you extra luggage if on a 176? I believe that If you validate first, then the extra luggage allowance doesnt apply anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
