frosty Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I would also be a bit uncomfortable if that was the situation I was in. I guess it is their unofficial way of giving you an extension seeing as it is such a short period from grant to initial entry date? Any idea when you plan on making the official move?

We would like to move during December 2019 between school years, our kids are 6 and 8. I have a business to sell, which would be in my best interest to not do in a rush as it has an impact on a few families and I would not want to negotiate a price while being under time constraints. We are also considering visiting friends in Auckland, as far as I know we only have to pass through an Australian border to activate the VISA even if it is while we are on our way to New Zealand? *confused* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) We looking at going once we receive visa grant (around April). Most of what I have read from other posts is it is better to go sooner than later. Unfortunately if there is a business to sell I guess it makes life a bit more complicated. I am not sure how the activation works, I would assume it depends if you remain in transit or actually enter Australia?

Tntaglia Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 @Lienno Congrats on the visa grant! I'm with you on the risk aversion - I would rather also spend money and know the visa is activated and nothing will go wrong, than go later and risk it. Those last few weeks are stressful enough, the last thing you want is to have this cloud hanging over you that there's a chance you get turned around at the border! In terms of where to go: I strongly suggest trying to find someone to house-sit for for a few days in whichever city you can, maybe someone from the site going back to SA or similar. That way you save on the costs of accommodation if you're not otherwise fussed about which location you end up in. Advertise here and also on the various Facebook groups: Aussiekaners, South Africans living in Sydney (and equivalent groups for other cities), you may get lucky!

We've booked our flights and got decent accommodation via Airbnb, so it is game on :) The last concern I have is the documents that I need to take when going over for the trip. I've read that we only have to take our passports as the VISA will be linked electronically using the passport number, but that they suggest we also take printed copies just for in case. We will also take the unabridged birth certificates for the children as we've previously been asked to produce these at a border post. Any other documents that you might suggest we take with us? O, I've also already received my International Driving Permit, so that will also be packed. Thank you for all the advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
March2 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi @Lienno no worries mate. You definitely need the printout of your visa grant letters. They ask these before you leave at passport control. They will also take a copy of it. With the rest of the documents you mentioned, I think you are good to go. All the best!

The 12 month validity of English results (at the Time of Decision i.e. when deciding whether to grant the visa) is a legislated requirement for Secondary applicants aged over 18. However, is not always requested. Edited December 5, 2018 by TeeTMI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we have all the documents we require. Thank you all for the advise and support throughout the process. I'll check back to the forum once we return from the trip, it might be useful for someone. We took the long road by doing everything ourselves and not using a migration agent and it worked out quite well thus far, for which we are thankful. Thanks to forums like this one there is plenty of information available to always make informed decisions, so we'll share our journey in the hope that it might make a difference for someone with similar challenges.

TamLovesRic Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hi there @Lienno Gosh - what a curveball life has thrown you! We have been here for just under two months, and after a six week road trip, we have settled in Springfield, Ipswich, just outside of Brisbane. We really like it here so far, having only been in our rental for one week. All I can say is, the one thing that really helped us was having some sort of address. We were lucky enough to have a friend on the Gold Coast, who was happy for us to use his address till we got one of our own. Having this address, meant that we could apply for Medicare (Such a simple process) - and a medicare card seems to be GOLD here. It also gave us a proof of address necessary to buy a car, and somewhere to send our tax number. So - what I am saying is, if you know someone here - or even a region you want to settle in, it wouldn't hurt to apply for medicare, just for that proof of address later. It is possible to do it yourself, but I cannot explain how nice it was to have someone help us out. Dont worry - all is going to be fine - Ride with the wave.

Awesome, glad you settled and that you like it. Where have you been on your roadtrip? Did you decide in Brisbane from the start, or was it during your roadtrip that you decided? We are going to Hervey Bay and Beachmere from 22 December to 31 December for our trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TamLovesRic Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 @Lienno ah we stopped so many places, Hervey bay being one of them. Its one of the many quaint little towns all along the coast... Its not cosmopolitan or anything of the sort. I think you'll get a good idea of how nice it is to be in aus there. Free things to do, but i wont take away your honeymoon by telling you everything!!! We always had a good feeling about Brisbane, so Hubby arranged for some interviews for along the road and got a job. We really like it so far... But to be honest, if we could live on the Gold Coast, up near the hinterland... Oh man that would good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An AA International drivers license and a letter from the South African traffic department stating when and where you got your license is not the same thing. You don't need an International Drivers License because South African and Australian licenses are both in English. If you plan on living in NSW, then you will definitely need a license letter from the South African traffic department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I just had (1 and 2 months ago respectively) our RSA drivers licences converted to AU ones in Newcastle and we were not asked for the letters which we went through the trouble of obtaining. It's been mentioned in previous threads that some Service NSW branches do not ask for these letters and that was the case with us. I believe that only the main centers ask for the letter. Also, how useless are these letters?! There's no mention of your ID number or your drivers licence number. I had to ask the RTMC officer to reprint the letter with our ID and drivers licence numbers just to be safe.

But I'll remain positive. We're doing this! We received our son's 101 child visa grant on 16 October. We submitted the application offshore in Dubai on 12 September 2018, the medical was requested on 18 September and it was carried out on 19 September so the whole process took just over a month. Only have to activate by next year September by which time we plan to have already moved there permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
