Does anyone know if I can I change my Tourist VISA to a Working Holiday Visa here? I am getting a thousand different responses from so many different people. The people at the Directorate of Immigration barely knew and I think they just said yes go to England and get one there just to get me off the line. Then I rang the Finnish embassy in London and they said well they send it here to the local police stations or whatever so see if you can get one there.
So I dont konw, I really dont.
Can anyone help?

If UVI said go to UK - then I'd go to UK. They have an order of papers and the paper goes Embassy=>UVI. Everything else confuses the hell out of everyone and annoys the hell out of the pigs.... Of course nothing stops you from applying, but I wonder if you really do want to spend 3-4 months waiting for them to say to you "wrongly applied"... I mean theres now as of late been 3-4 topics on this. The UVI does not like applications made locally. Besides which have you read the Working Holiday Visa requirements, as in money/funds/return ticket etc.???
Cheers, Hank W.

3-4 months? Surely not. I am going to have to call the Directorate of Immigration tomorrow again, the Finnish Embassy in Australia and see the police station tomorrow.Hank W. wrote:If UVI said go to UK - then go to UK.

There must be an easier way to do these things.

You must have it BAD!
I applied for my Work/Holiday visa from Australia - it took over four months to have it approved and to get my passport back. Not to mention that I was starting to get worried - and no one knew where my application was. Turned out, they had sent it to the wrong department.
Be prepared for a wait... and some 'tense' moments.
Also, make sure you meet the requirements, as Hank said.....
