Cheers Brandon, this was what I was thinking.. and I've still not sent what they actually put in the passport for the DTV yet. I'll find out later

@Nick *********
what was I speculating? And I have not seen the DTV stamp so again I do wonder what it will be like and said I'll find out in a couple of weeks when I am back

@Tony ********
no problem mate, I understand your dilemma but it's seriously not worth it..

I've seen reels melt and go bang when not fully extended and a big current drawn through it.

All the best 👍🏻

Make sure if it's a reel that you reel it all out to prevent overheating and the cable to melt.

Edit just read the full post and you would be better off paying the spark and getting a new socket added .. running high wattage equipment from an extension lead is definitely not recommended and make sure the lead is suitably sized to carry the load you are using ...and 100% reel out the extension lead..

I agree and think it's a win win for them, if we like it and stay longer we pay tax as well as help keep paying money into the economy when we go out to bars, restaurants and so on ..

@Todd ********
I think they are also hoping if you stay for 180 days or more then you'll be liable to be taxed I believe..so could mean a tax return. .so they might win that way

I don't get to use mine for another two weeks .. curious to see what they do with regards to the stamp... I'll find out soon enough 🙏🏻
