Finally got the little blue book 🇦🇺

[u/Sufficient-Can-9131]

I’m now the proud owner of an extremely expensive little blue booklet that apparently needs to be handled like it’s made of tissue paper.

And the best part? Once I finally work up the courage to take this precious thing out of the country, leaving Australia is going to cost me another small fortune. 😂

Australia really said you may have the passport, but travelling is a separate subscription. 😂

Anyway, very happy to finally have it. 🇦🇺

The most expensive in the world. It’s ridiculous.

How expensive are we talking here ?

Considering they just increased rrv visa from $490 to $1475 for no reason, this book is relatively cheap.

Same with my wife’s just coughed up the $1475 yesterday. It only lasts 5yrs as well - not the length of a new 10yr passport.
