thanks Rob. IO says cannot do here. Does he mean cannot do the change so means I can come back in on visa exempt then apply at the immigration office. ?

Immigration gave me two letters, one for opening a bank account and one for drivers licence. Bank only wanted the letter and passport. Same for drivers licence. Was all very quick. No motion of the yellow book

excellent thanks Jan. I have another years health insurance which will give me another year on the OA visa. Will start the process once that has kicked in from 1 Jan 26. Ensures I have plenty of time to get everything sorted and ready.
