I think there are rules around the switch from tourist to work visas though. I believe you have to leave the country and then come back in on the work visa. There are some wierd and wonderful rules for these things!

If that was the case it would make far more sense to hop on a plane to Dublin.

Far from sure that's true, to be honest.

It's certainly true that it's necessary to be in one's own country to apply for some visas [maybe even a work one?] but not to take receipt of it. He could go to Australia house if it were necessary, that's technically in Australia!

The British consulate in Canberra issue's the visa as this is classed as the first border.

I'm not sure we strictly speaking need Ormsby (although I wouldn't say 'no') because we are pretty well covered in the backs, but Patrick would be a definite asset. A big, tough forward who would certainly beef up our pack and go well in our division.

Just for arguments sake

Given the length of the thread I'm going to lock this one here. We can start new ones as any new signing or news on visas comes out.
