    Hi everyone :)

    I am planning on traveling to australia next year and was looking into the visa. Sayit travel do a good deal on them but was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them before. What were they like?

    Thanks :)

    Nope just the visa. i came across it on the internet. have heard of quite a few people who got j1s from them so was just wondering if anyone had used them for the visa.

    diac direct isn't the name of a company. Diac stands for department of immigration and citizenship.

    If you are getting it for €195 with the company then go for it, according to Zambia's link DIAC direct are charging $270 (€204)

    No doubt that was before the VAC increase on 1st July, as of 2 minutes ago it was $270 which is €204 on xe.com.

    As a strict rule I would not argue with you on it, but just stating the facts.

    Hint on the front page of this forum currently there is a "Australia FAQ - This probably has the visa question you are just about to ask."
    and another one

    My friend went to Oz a few weeks ago, and got it all sorted through Sayit in Cork. She found them very good and helpful. I am going in Feb/March 2012 and sayit were the cheapest - they included the visa, flights and back account set up
