and a very noble and desirable thing that is (As long as it is legal).
However, you may remember that I was a defender of the rights of people to choose to use VIP, before it was officially sanctioned by Australian agents.
I copped a barage of rubbish from people regarding the legality of the VIP service, and this was only aleviated by the announcement by Creative Hols and others that they were sanctioning the service.
I cannot see why the same argument should not apply to the payment of VOA in other currencies.
There are many similarities.
VOA in other currencies does not have any official sanction (same as VIP prior to Creative advertisements)
VOA in other currencies allows for syphoning of cash by immigration staff....where does this money go??
I am simply asking for people to apply consistent reasoning.
You will note my comment that people can pay however they like as far as I am concerned......that's freedom of choice :0)
I am happy that my choice is that I choose to be organised and compliant with official immigration notifications.
