actually just, the very brief research I have done at the moment, suggests that as a migrant you get a certain about of tax allowence when bring goods (UPEs) in at time of your first visit to Aus. I was trying to ascertain if I had really understood it correctly and if the activation visit counts as the first visit. Make sense?

actually your post made me think, we could do a week NOR and a week SOR, so they are both as good as anywhere really! both are at the end of train lines if I remember correctly.

shock and panic about the organisational side of things. actually question about international movers, aus tax requirements if I may? We were intending on activating the visa with a holiday, and them actually migrating later. Does that lose us some sort of personal allowance benefit as technically the holiday will be our first visit under the visa to Aus?

hey, doing the planning for our activation visit and I wonder why the best place to locate ourselves would be? We have stayed in the centre and cottersloe previously, so would prefer to get a different perspective on Perth Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Tony

Hi all, We are the Bensons; Helen, Olly and myself Tony. This morning after nearly 3 years of waiting our 176 was granted!! We'll be looking to activate our visa in august/september time and then figure out the actual migration after that! It would be great to get to know anyone in a similar scenario as we may be able to help each out along the way! All the best Tony
