stu4668 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 we are popping over to Perth next week to validate our 190 visas. I have been informed just going through passport control validates the visa, is this correct? Anyway looking forward to spending two weeks in Perth, we were there last year and loved the place, just wish this was the one way journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi Scott, it was all I did when i validated my De facto visa in October. I checked it when I was there just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecass3 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 My sister went through expecting a fanfare, but was a little disappointed to discover the officers barely acknowledged the fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Sadly, you arrive tired and weary and stand in line with everyone else and then think "oh is that it then" lol. I have to say though we got a lovely officer checking our passports who looked at the children and said "you're stayers" ... must have a built in radar or something. It's funny that when we returned from a holiday last year, the guy checking our passports asked if we'd had a good time, then as we picked up the passports said "welcome home" ... sometimes little things still make me smile Edited October 18, 2013 by ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 We had a lovely lady officer in Brisbane who was really welcoming and asked the kids if they were excited etc. But of course we flew domestic to our final home in Perth and was quite an anti climax !

stu4668 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 some nice replies there, I am sure if the passport control officer acknowledges the fact that we have visas it will put a smile on my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu4668 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 some nice replies there, I am sure if the passport control officer acknowledges the fact that we have visas it will put a smile on my face two weeks in Perth, weather superb, visa validated, looked around various suburbs - I think it will be a northern suburb we settle in - then back to a cold and frosty UK . House going on the market in January then hopefully making the one way journey july/august 2014 It cant come soon enough!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
