Thanks for that Nicole<br>
<br>
I'll update the site and push my changes tonight<br>
<br>
Having said that I think information about the on the website should be easy to understand and I would suggest making the following amendments to the document from TH:<br>
<br>
At the beginning of the document there should be a summary that simply states:<br>
<br>
If you are from the following countries you need a 977 visa<br>
Otherwise you will need a 456 Business visa<br>
Table of countries<br>
<br>
There will be a link to each category with more details on the steps needed to get the visa. If that's cool with everyone I'll make those changes and update the site tonight.<br>
