Can anyone tell me how long you have to be there to validate - can it be a quick fly in fly out or do you have to be in the country for a certain amount of time.

Also my partner's 16 year is on his visa - will she need to go to validate her visa as well or just the main holder of the visa.

Thanks

Helen,

In order to validate your vsa you could simply fly to Australia, go through and get your passport stamped and turn round, get on another flight and go back to the UK!
The main visa holder must enter the country before anyone else can if you were considering going at different times but everyone needs to enter and have their passports stamped before the end of the validation period.
