Baller lpskier Posted March 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2019 Commonwealth skier can’t get into a Commonwealth country? What’s up with that? Quote Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ballsohard Posted March 7, 2019 Members Share Posted March 7, 2019 Freddie says that he will rightfully win this tournament next year to end his Moomba curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2019 @lpskier the issue was that he stated on his application that it was for water ski events - technically business. A business visa is more money and takes longer. Once government types got involved..... He is super bummed but it was fine having him here for a few days.

Members ballsohard Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 @Horton If I was one of the best skiers in the world and I couldn't go to Australia to compete in the Moomba then I also would have seen hanging out with a short guy that runs a cool website as a close second.

Baller BraceMaker Posted March 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 10, 2019 So do most of the skiers just say tourism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted March 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 10, 2019 I once made the mistake going into Canada to fly an Airshow and marked the custom form Business, since I was sponsored by Bud Light. What a friggen mistake that was. I was pulled from line in arrival and spent hours in an office explaining why I was there. Felt like a criminal. Learned quickly, ALWAYS mark Tourism !!!

Members whitem71 Posted March 12, 2019 Members Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don’t get it. Freddie’s been to Australia a bunch of times before, did he forget what to write on the visa application this time? Do all the other pro skiers state ‘tourism’?

E_T Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Shouldn’t the international federation have all this worked out for them. If you people really want a “Olympic” sport (won’t happen ever sorry) you never hear of olympians having this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
