Hi all.

Can anyone tell me what visa i need to sail a boat i buy in the states, out of the country? I am not earning money in the states and i am Australian with a UK visa. My wife will be sailing with me and she has UK and Australian passports.
cheers

Hi guys. Do I actually have to go to canberra? its such a soulless place, full of politicians. Thought I was to do it by post from brisbane. Its prob 1500k's drive down if thats not the case. Not a big drive but I wont have wheels. cheers You clearly haven't been to Canberra in a while. I can confi...

Hi victoria. thanks for the advice. I guess that i just have to go sit in the sun for a month(i heard it takes 2 weeks but am i better off booking for a month?). what are the chances of it being refused? bearing in mind the home office let us marry in the uk. my wife has a job and we own a house./ ...

Yeah thats the gist of it as far as I know. though Vicki is the Guru to ask. I am off to oz tomorow to apply for the visa.

Hi again victoria. My leaving date nears and i have been busy putting together a group to do some filming for me. I am filming a doco when I get back. I hope to sell it but indie films are difficult to sell. My question is, do I tell mr gov bod when i apply for the spouse visa? or just say that i wi...

That was a bit harsh mate. Do you speak many other languages fluently? I have met poms that dont write english as well as this fella. Pull the stick out. cheers It has happened more than once on this board that posters have confused naturalisation with neutralisation. You wouldn't want them to go o...

Please, it's NATURALISATION , not neutralisation. If you want to apply for something, at least know what you are applying for. :shock: nat·u·ral·ise –verb (used with object) 1. to confer upon (an alien) the rights and privileges of a citizen. neu·ter –verb (used with object) 10. Veterinary ...

Hi guys, The way I read it is that it has to be the country I am living in that i apply in. That does not neccesarily mean my place of birth does it? My nationality may be aussie but I have living in different places. In extreme i could well have been out of aussie for 20yrs as far as that goes. wou...

Thanks victoria and co. i must admit the thought of a bit of sun away from the draich scottish winter wont be a hardship. Ill ring ahead and get em to throw another slab in the esky and a prawn on the barbi. cheers steve ((edited bit))) just a thought. we were told that its impossible to get married...

Hi. thanks for that reply(even though its not what i wanted to hear). how about if i go sit in the sun somewhere in europe? or even turkey? I could drink some fosters and pretend i was in oz.
cheers steve
