Can you answer a question for me?

What did you have to show for "residence"? A lease contract? Valid for how long? Are hotel reservations adequate for this requirement?

Thanks,

Kerry

how would you get a lease before a visa? Don't you need a visa to get a lease?

Apparently not. The government wants to see a signed, 12-month lease. To top it off they would like to see a longer lease, i.e. 4 years.
