Laura MacDonald Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi All, My partner is here in Melbourne on a business/visitor visa which expires on the 2nd Feb. He needs to go home due to his own business needs and will return prior to his visa ending on the 2nd Feb, so our question is; Will he be allowed back into the country with only 5 days remaining on his visa? We are hoping to have his sponsorship lodged within those 5 days and a bridging visa applied for to allow him to stay. This has to be done prior to the 2nd Feb though or we have to wait another 3 months for this to expire again. He doesn't mind flying out again on the 2nd to NZ or elsewhere.... But it's more the re entry that we are concerned about if there are only 5 days remaining. Any help/advice offered would be great thanks!

wrussell Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Is the visa multiple entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Laura, There's no limitation on re-entering Australia in the last few days of a valid visa, but the scenario you've described tells me that you'll need to be very organised to make it work, good luck!

Laura MacDonald Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks George, It is a multiple entry he has been given. The only other question I now have is - If he leaves tomorrow and comes back on the 25th January, does his next 3 months kick in? Or does he have to wait until the 2nd February and leave again? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only arrived on the 2nd November and trying to figure out the rules is exhausting! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi Laura, Read the visa grant. It probably gives him a three month stay each time he enters so yes. Cheers, George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
