CSR - Permits

Why not do it now - its another job off the list.

We tend to do it closer to departure date. Especially with the three-day WA permit, if your itinerary (if you have one) changes for whatever reason you need to get a fresh one to cover the revised dates as they don't like to change the dates on an already issued permit.

Also the WA system seemingly spits the request out for manual scrutiny if their pooter shows a permit issued covering a date in the preceding 12 months, and that can delay issue.

We applied early and gave a range of dates as shown below. Two passes needed.

Didn't know you needed a permit for the CSR...
Glad I read this.

As Zippo said, if you need to change your travel dates, problems can arise.
We tried that a while back and the system would not accept a revision but required a new application. That threw up the signal that we already had a permit so it was required to submit the new request to the "Community Elders". We received the new permit several weeks later....after we had arrived home!

My philosophy now is to apply, nominating the best dates you can estimate then travel when you can. If challenged, I'll blather about 'poor eyesight', 'poor memory', 'poor intelligence', even get Roz to start crying. But not become aggressive.
