Australian Visa on the web
Hi,<BR>My family and I are travelling from UK to Australia later this year and we have to have a Visa.<BR>The travel agents will sort it for £16 each.<BR>(Around Aussie $40).<BR>Last time we went (2001)it was £10 each<BR>Whilst it is a tiny proportion of the total trip cost, I don't want travel agents to make any more profit if I can help it..lol<BR>Is there a site to get the Electronic visa cheaper ?<BR>Any info will be appreciated.<BR><BR>Muck<BR><BR> <BR>

Similar to you, the travel agents offered to arrange Australian visas for a whopping £24 each. In the end, I got my electronic visa from the web site mentioned by Rob for AU$20 which worked out as just over £7. I found the web site easy to use and I got confirmation within a minute that everything has gone okay. You just need your credit card details and passport.

Hi Mucky<BR><BR>When we traveled from the states to Australia last Feb - Qantas did our visas for us - and there was no charge. You might check with your airline - if they are charging then you might get it done as easily on the internet.<BR><BR>Have a great time - wish we were going too!!

Mucky:<BR>We too traveled from the States to Australia with Qantas on two separate occassions. They took care of the visa business over the phone. No problem. Makes one wonder, if your travel agent is charging you for something that is provided by the airline at no charge, what else are they charging you for that's normally free?<BR>
