Don’t go anywhere. You are a diamond. You have provided so much valuable advice for so many people, don’t underestimate your contribution. You are held in great esteem and have become the go to guy for rational advice 🙏
I remember when you did the 6 month visa and how happy you were when you got it. I have no talent for doing paperwork but I’ve done 3 tourist and a temporary residence visa for my wife in the past 3 years (for Australia). I find if you get the application and study it, understand what they want and produce the paperwork you will have a good chance. As always, you put the money up long before you get an answer. Good luck Paul.
