RE: [Harp-L] To all harmonica travelers (no harp content)

No, it is not an electronic visa, it is an electronic passport. I have to ask for a new passport (which is upsetting because I already have a valid passport but not electronic one) and to pay for it (which is very upsetting then because as I told, I already have a passport that I have paid...)
 
I do not knwo about electronic Visa. Is it another trick I should know before leaving? I would not like to come, happyface, with my brand new electronic passport and be refused because another thing like that electronic visa.

When you say electronic passport do you mean the same thing as the 
electronic visa I had to get in order to book my flight to Australia? 
There's no paperwork - apparently the visa shows up on the computer when you 
check in (so I was told). You still need your paper passport. I was hoping 
they'd let me, my wife and my harps in for a couple of weeks at Easter... 
We'll be in Perth, if there are any harp-lers around there.
