Alice's Story

드디어 기다리던 호주 비자가 나왔다.
혹시나 잘못되서 안나오면 어쩌나 걱정을 했는데 무사히 설날 전에 나와서 안심하고 출국준비를 할 수 있을 꺼 같다.사실 은근히.. 문제가 생기지 않을까 했는데 정말 다행이다.
이제 정말 가는 거 같다.

 학교 수속도 끝났고 준비만 남았다.
사실 신체검사를 하면서도 좀 거시기 했는데 말이다.. ㅋㅋ

근데 비자라는게 참 허무하다..
아래 메일이 다다. ㅡㅡ; 

그 밖에 아무것도 없고 이멜로 한장 딸랑.. 쩝.. 그래도 뭐.. 어째든 기분은 좋다.. ㅋㅋ

Dear EUNJOO LEE

 RE: Application for Subclass 417 - Working Holiday (Temporary) (Class TZ) visa


This is to advise that MIKYUNG KIM has been granted an Electronic Working Holiday Visa, Subclass 417, on 29 January 2008.

This letter contains important information about this visa.

VISA GRANT NUMBER
The visa grant number is 8119526481307. This is the unique number assigned to the visa. Visa holders should keep this visa grant number with them, as they may have to provide it to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) during the life of the visa.

VISA INFORMATION
This visa allows MIKYUNG KIM to make their initial entry into Australia no later than 12 months from the date that the visa was granted. The initial entry into Australia must not be after 29 January 2009.

Once in Australia, this visa permits MIKYUNG KIM to stay in Australia for 12 months from the date that they first enter Australia.  It provides for multiple travel to Australia, which means that MIKYUNG KIM can leave Australia and re-enter Australia as many times as they wish during their 12 month stay.  However, if MIKYUNG KIM departs Australia during their 12 month stay, they are not able to recover the period of time spent outside Australia.

MIKYUNG KIM will not have a visa label placed in their passport when travelling to Australia as their visa is recorded electronically in Australia's visa systems. It is recommended that MIKYUNG KIM keep a copy of this advice for their personal records.

Please note, that this visa is linked to the passport number provided in MIKYUNG KIM's application. If MIKYUNG KIM obtains a new passport after receiving this letter, DIAC systems will not recognise the new passport and MIKYUNG KIM will be prevented from travelling to Australia. The visa is linked to the passport number that MIKYUNG KIM provided in their application. If MIKYUNG KIM has obtained a new passport, please contact the eVisa Helpdesk for advice (eVisa.WHM.Helpdesk@immi.gov.au).

Please note, this Working Holiday Visa can only be used once. If MIKYUNG KIM finds that their circumstances have changed after they are granted a Working Holiday Visa and they want to postpone their working holiday but still need to travel to Australia  for a brief visit, they MUST apply for a Tourist Visa or another temporary visa. This will cease the Working Holiday Visa and they will be able to apply for another Working Holiday Visa at a later stage, if they still meet all the eligibility criteria.

If MIKYUNG KIM obtains an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority, subclass 976) after their Working Holiday Visa has been granted, their entry to Australia will activate the Working Holiday Visa and they will NOT be able to apply for another first Working Holiday vi

VISA CONDITIONS
Please note that this Working Holiday Visa has been approved subject to a number of conditions:

EMPLOYER WORK LIMITATION - 8547

The holder must not be employed by any 1 employer for more than 6 months, without the prior permission in writing of the Secretary.

STUDY LIMITATION - 8548

While in Australia you must not engage, for more than 4 months, in any studies or training.


It is very important that MIKYUNG KIM understands and abides by these visa conditions.  If they fail to abide by these conditions, their visa may be cancelled and they will be required to leave Australia.

If MIKYUNG KIM does not understand the visa conditions they can contact the nearest Australian Government Office overseas for advice before they travel (www.immi.gov.au/contacts).

After arrival in Australia, MIKYUNG KIM may seek advice on any aspect of their visa conditions from the nearest Department office (www.immi.gov.au/contacts).

CHECKING VISA DETAILS
DIAC provides a service called Entitlement Verification Online (EVO) which allows certain third parties to check visa information with the consent of the holder.

Through EVO, MIKYUNG KIM can give consent to registered third parties such as:
 employers and labour suppliers, and government agencies, to check whether visa holders are eligible for certain services, or have work and study rights;
 EVO also allows visa holders who applied online to view their current visa details. If MIKYUNG KIM provided a password for EVO in their online application, they will be able to access the service on the Department's website at www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/evo.htm

The disclosure of visa information by DIAC is governed by the Privacy Act 1988.  Therefore, DIAC will disclose information about MIKYUNG KIM's visa to a third party only with their consent. MIKYUNG KIM may give consent to third parties by providing their name, date of birth, passport number and passport country of issue.  If they do not wish a third party to find out about their visa entitlements, they should not give them this information.

The information form 993i 'Safeguarding your personal information', available from Immigration offices, gives details of third parties to which MIKYUNG KIM can consent to their personal information being disclosed, and how they can consent.

SECOND WORKING HOLIDAY VISA
Working Holiday Makers who have completed a minimum of three months of seasonal work in regional Australia, while on their first Working Holiday visa, may be eligible to apply for a second Working Holiday visa. Further information about the eligibility requirements for the second Working Holiday visa is available on the department's website at www.immi.gov.au/visitors

Information about seasonal work opportunities in regional Australia can be found on the Harvest Trail website at www.jobsearch.gov.au/harvesttrail

OTHER VISA OPTIONS
If, after arriving in Australia, MIKYUNG KIM is interested in the possibility of a further period of stay, information about other visa options that may be available to them can be found at:  www.immi.gov.au/visitors and www.immi.gov.au/skilled

We hope that MIKYUNG KIM enjoys their stay in Australia


Yours sincerely

호주 지역은 브리즈번에서 한시간 반가량 거리의 누사로 결정했다.
누사의 GV(Global Village) 캐나다에도 있고 호주에도 있는 괜찮은 곳이라고 한다.
호주에 설립된지도 좀 됐고 다른 지역에도 있지만 누사 지역에 있는 곳이 제일 괜찮다고 다녀 온 사람들이 그런다는 곳!
해변이 가깝고 기온도 온화한~ 유럽 사람들이 선호하는 지역!!
그리고 기숙사도 등록 가능하고 워홀 팩키지로 가격까지 저렴한 이거저거 따져서 결정한 곳이다.

3개월을 열심히 공부하고 주말에 part-job도 하고 activity도 할 수 있고.
무엇보다 유럽 친구나 영어권 친구를 만나서 영어를 늘려야하는 사명감? ㅋㅋ

사실 한국에서 학교를 다 등록하고 가는 좀 부담감도 없지 않아 있지만 그래도 정하고 가야 좀 더 편히 있을꺼 같아서 확정했다.
공부할 때 한꺼번에 몰빵하는 이 센스~~

기숙사는 one room, two bed 결국 roommate가 생긴다는.. 으흐흐 외국인일까?
음 외국인 냄새가 만만치 않다던데..  하긴 나도 마늘 냄새가 날려나? ㅡㅡ^

영어 잘하는 외국인이면 좋을 텐데..

오늘 드디어 항공권을 발권했다!
학교 상담했던 분이랑 학교 뿐아니라 항공권까지 결정하느라 전화, 메일 계속 연락하고 시간 맞추고 확인하고 많이 도와주신 손정아주임님께 감사를~ ㅎㅎ 배꼽인사~~

홍콩을 경유해서 가는 항공권이고 호주 케세이퍼시픽 항공으로 이동이된다~ 오훗!!
드뎌 한발자국 움직이는구나.. 결제도 늘어나는 구나.. ㅠㅠ

그래도 친구랑 같이 가서 마음은 놓이는데.. 항공 스케줄은 달라지는구나~ 쩝..

10시 출발이면 8시쯤에 인천공항에 도착을 해야하는데 그럼 사당에서 6시 반쯤 출발을 해야하면 짐도 많고.. 헉헉..
역시 우리 집 김기사를 어떻게든 구슬려서(?) 해야하는 난관이 발생했다.
날도 금요일이라 출근하는 날인데 그래도 그래도~ ㅋㅋ

1. CX  417 M  29FEB ICNHKG HK1  1015   1315  (인천-홍콩)  
2. CX  919 M  29FEB HKGMNL HK1  1440   1640  (홍콩-마닐라)
3. CX  902 M  23MAY MNLHKG HK1  2000   2205  (마닐라-홍콩)
4. CX  103 M  23MAY HKGBNE HK1  2330  #1005  (홍콩-브리즈번)

홍콩을 경유하긴 하지만 거의 바로 출발이니 구경할 여유는 부릴 수가 없다.
거금 948,300원 결제 완료.

이제는 정말 ctrl + back도 못하는 상태다!!
그래 가는거야~~ 쪼아 가는거야~~

오늘은 강남 위협회에 가서 호주 나의 담당자에서 누사 GV로 간다고 확정짓고 왔다.
워킹홀리데이로 3개월 팩키지로 저렴하게 나온 과정을 할꺼 같다.
3개월해서. 이거저거 다 해서.. 430만원 정도 될꺼 같다.
상담 받기 전에는 이거저거 많이 물어봐야지 하는데.. 막상 가면.. 딱히 물어볼 말이.. 생각이 나지 않는다..
뭐.. 가기 나름이지만..

일단 누사가 싫어서 리턴하거나 변경하는 일은 없었다고 하니 마음이 놓이고...
괜찮은거 같다. 해변도 볼 수 있고 part-job도 구하면 구할 수 있을 꺼 같고.. 정말 가서 열심히 해야겠다.

모든건 결정났고 돈들일만 남았다.
신체검사도 끝났고 비자 받고 가서 열심히만 하면 된다~
