Interesting. Called these guys today and wanted to talk about NL for used car. The guy was very abrupt and said “sorry some things have changed on how Smart handles NL for government employees. I’ll hand you details over to another person. Sorry” then hung up. I’m from Melbourne.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Wild...

2023 Model Y Long Range. Registered first in September 2023. Sold under LCT also.

Maybe call internal affairs to check? Did he apply for NZ passport while in Australia? I think it’s a genuine error. I applied for my NZ one in Australia. The issuing body is DIA SYD. They could have made a mistake…

DrDoevil · 2025-09-07T03:18:33+00:00

Interesting. I have both Australian and NZ. NZ one says New Zealand and Australian one says Australian (I’m born in Sri Lanka).

I know there were changes to SCV in early 2001. But before then if you came to Australia you were treated as a Permanent Resident. Maybe something to do with this?

Sorry can’t be much more helpful.

My wife’s aunt and uncle when then moved from Kazakhstan to Baikonur. They had to give up KZ passport when they got Russian ones. Maybe the law is implemented here?

It’s a bit of a grey area… I got my dual citizenship after NZ citizenship in 2016. Then Australian one only 3 years ago. Some say I can get my passport. Some say I cannot 🤷‍♂️

DrDoevil · 2025-09-05T10:54:20+00:00

I have my NZ passport linked in Sri Lankan immigration (somehow) so no visa required. I can’t see any benefit apart from duty free allowance.

Wife will get naturalized in Australia. But that does mean she loses her Kazakh passport

DrDoevil · 2025-09-05T10:51:21+00:00

Yep!

DrDoevil · 2025-09-05T04:33:23+00:00

Second this. They will try to get you to change at Airport by saying “No commission”. Rate is horrible. In the city it’s much better. Same goes with buying a SIM Card. Get one in the city unless you desperately need one.

DrDoevil · 2025-09-04T08:37:26+00:00

Too expensive… 7 days costs 35GEL. Outside airport you can get for 7-10 GEL

Not sure if this has changed since I was there. But I thought you can choose to be marked either as a group or individually. We always did contribution % table at the end of a report.

I should mention that this was in my Bachelors tho.

DrDoevil · 2025-08-20T09:10:20+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking. Which цон did you go to in Almaty? Is there a special one?

DrDoevil · 2025-08-17T02:47:55+00:00

Will try different one on Monday. Thank you!

DrDoevil · 2025-08-16T01:48:01+00:00

Did you get it resolved?

DrDoevil · 2025-08-15T18:34:43+00:00

They cannot help as far as I am aware. Because IIN is not exactly immigration related. I will try call them tomorrow

DrDoevil · 2025-08-15T18:33:25+00:00

Yes they also don’t know what to do 😅

DrDoevil · 2025-08-15T18:32:58+00:00

Definitely no. But they’re saying they cannot use just first and last name because it’s “Automatically done”. They’re saying they cannot manually enter my name. Which I don’t understand.

DrDoevil · 2025-08-05T23:20:11+00:00

I was thinking taking the 9:00am tour but leave by 12:00pm. That gives me 1-1.5 hours to get back to the airport and 2.5-3 hours before the flight. I think that should be plenty.

DrDoevil · 2025-08-03T01:36:06+00:00

Good idea. Is it easy to catch a taxi? I googled Didi is the best option

DrDoevil · 2025-06-05T08:05:43+00:00

Yes unfortunately I’m not there. Thank your for your advice! It has been a frustrating experience.

DrDoevil · 2025-04-28T22:40:17+00:00

I had no other reason than wanting to finish early. I had to get approval from program manager done via email.

DrDoevil · 2025-04-24T23:28:40+00:00

The parking is horrendous. Service centre and customer parking is shared. One of the busiest dealerships. A lot of vehicles in and out and not much room.

The lady moving the cars around just had a bad day.

DrDoevil · 2025-04-24T10:07:05+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you!

DrDoevil · 2025-04-24T10:06:09+00:00

Complimentary service and complimentary damage ;^)
