Fees update

The Australian Government charges don't miss you Reg. Visa's are quite an industry nowdays, and you pay whether you get approval or not.

So how much is the fiance visa fee, anyone know? I'm guessing about B40,000.

we just applied in june and it cost UAE3650(as we are applying through Dubai) or about TB37,000, but of course this does'nt include things like medicals, which have so far cost about TB11,000, and then you have the cost of getting all the copies and translations etc, needless to say, we are champing at the bit to get back to Aus so we can start makin babies and get our money back from the government
