Form 80 - submit with 820 onshore de facto application or not?

[lcmahtani]

Hi all,

We're just finishing up our de facto subclass 820 visa application to submit in two weeks. Quick question - I'm pushed for time and have read quite a few people on here haven't submitted form 80 and haven't been asked for one before visa grant.

I'm from the UK which Australia seems to deem a low risk country and will be including references from my work in the visa to cite I am of a decent character.

Is form 80 necessary?

Many thanks,
Leah

I vaguely recall the rules changing such that they do ask everyone for form 80 these days. I submitted mine with the application just in case.

just looked up the checklist: http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/_pdf...-checklist.pdf
it clearly states you do need to submit form 80.
