Publisher's Synopsis
Russell's sense of humour is unmistakably Australian. THE VISA is drawn from the real-life experiences of a wife and a husband. They join forces to outplay the racist Australian immigration establishment. Their difficulties are multiplied by the hopelessly corrupt and incompetent Philippine administrative system. The action takes place in Australia and the Philippines with side trips to Indonesia and Hong Kong. This is not a handbook on buying an Asian wife, or a visa, but those who are thinking about it should read this book first. Those who have done either will know that THE VISA is lethally accurate. Most readers will laugh until they cry. Lawyers, judges, Americans and civil servants should not read the book if their thickest skin is in the wash.
