The Australian government has doubled application fees for some post-study visas, however the changes won't apply to visa holders from Pacific countries or Timor-Leste.

Perfect time to bitch about how complicated and precarious it is to get a permanent residency visa as a foreigner.

Between this and the passport prices our new motto will be "Australia, don't come, don't leave".

I was surprised when getting a passport for my son how expensive it is and only lasts a handful of years because he is an infant. We are already living abroad, and the more I read I guess we won’t be coming back.

I have to return for the first time in 7 years for a business trip next week. I’m interested to see how it feels being back
