in that case arton,

you can do your medical at Menara Affin. Its right next to the australian embassy, on the 15th floor (or wassit 13th? or 11th?) with payment of rm120 you're medical will be done within an hour, provided its not crowded. They'll even send the results to the australian immigration online.

a few of my friends did their medical at Kumpulan Medic ss15 Sbg jaya. they hadta pay rm115 + rm80 xray (to be done at sjmc before approaching the clinic)

Thanks for the info Hazwan...For Visa, just fill up the form and medical check up right and of course money? anything I miss out?

Anyone signed up the Iphone 3gs with 3?

My visa is only 1 year, can I sign 24 months contract?

What I heard is that as long as I have 1 year visa, they will let me sign 24 months contract, my friend's friend get an Iphone and left the country in 1 year, means still got another 12 months. That is in Melbourne, but then I asked a Vodafone dealer, the guy said, if I have 1 year, they can only provide me 12 month contact with higher cap for sure.

Mmm...anyone can help clarifying?

how did ur friend settle his cap? pay the cancelling fees? or...

it depends on which 3 shop you go to... some of them will some of them wont but majority will accept your 1 year visa for 24 months contract...

once you reach the time when you are leaving the country you can either pay the cancelling fees, continue paying them monthly direct debit providing that you have not closed your bank account or just run away from the country and never return again... they will just keep sending you the bills to your address thats registered to them. i think will get blacklisted when you try to enter into the country again based on the passport number etc.

He left oz without leaving a cent in the bank.

Well, perhaps I am wrong, but usually when you study a 3 years degree, you will get 1 year visa only right? And you need to renew every year? Or I am wrong?
You said it depends on which 3 shop I go, so I think it depends on which vodafone shop I go as well? Gotta ask as soon as possible, how about you? You get an Iphone for 24 months contract?

Blacklisted in the country? Looks like very serious...anyone can confirm this?

I do not think you need to re-new your visa every year unless you have to extend it if you can not finish your degree on time.
I think all Three shops have their own guidelines, just ask them and they will check for you if you're eligible for the iphone.
I changed my phone to iphone on the 20th months of my contract with Three, and they did ask me regarding my visa expired date before confirming my contract for the iphone.
Anyway regarding blacklisted it is possible because you're signing a legal document aka the contract with Three.

read the 1st page lah..........

you will be given a student visa for the whole duration of your course lah......

Your COE (certificate of acceptance) will show the duration of your course... you do not need to renew anything unless if you fail a semester or delay, then at the end of the original term study term you have provided (in your case 3 years) you have to reapply for the student visa etc.

Vodafone i have no idea coz i dont like what they have to offer... but i think they are quite strict in their acceptance policy.

3 seems to be okay with everything...

Hi i am doing phd in medical biochemistry in university of newcastle.

if they blacklist ur identity based on ur passport number u will get a new passport with a different number after a few years right. so the blacklist will only be for a few years?

Hey guys,I understand that in order to apply for a working visa,you need to undertake at least 2 years of study(92 weeks).

A little background here,I'm planning to do a degree transfer program.(1+2)

I had went to the CRICOS website and did a little search and saw that most of the institutions that offers a 3 year bachelors degree program has a duration of study of 156 weeks.(52 weeks/year)

So is it right to assume that by studying 2 years in Aus,I will have 104 weeks of studies?Waht about the semester breaks?Will they be deducted from the duration of studies?Thanks in advance for your time.
