Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Oh my god, it was so easy!
We
just applied for our "working holidaymaker" visa's at the british high commision and it was a breeze, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, easier than the HSMP application. They even check your application and promise to call if there is anything missing. The fee was $263 (each) as opposed to the ~$960 for HSMP (which you then need to apply for visa's with, and pay the $263 anyway!), and.. it should be complete tonight or tomorrow, not in 10+ weeks like HSMP.
We should have just done this in the first place. Ah well, you live and learn.
Tonight we pick up our plane tickets and insurance package from the travel agent, and tomorrow night we begin our trip up north to visit everyone before we go.
It's all starting to come together.

Regan Heath: We always knew about the working holiday visa, it's the most common way people go to the UK. We shouldn't have any trouble getting in with it. The reason we went with HSMP is that it has no restrictions on the length of time you can work for, the holiday visa only lets you work for 12 months (of the 2 years we can stay). I'm not sure but I think it's harder to remain in the UK if you're there as a working holiday maker, than as an HSMP. (09/11/06)
Delys and Dave: Sounds much easier! What time you arriving on Thursday. Both of us milking pm and Rhys and Jen over at calf sheds with calf club calves but just show up and make yourself comfortable in the messy outside room!! (09/12/06)
