francy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi We will be lodging for our residency visa (887) soon and our agent is saying we need to have medicals again. Does anyone know if this is definitely the case as had them done less than 3 years ago, in the UK. I know things change but wanted to know as its alot of $$$$ to pay out again. Also, don't suppose anyne knows roughly how long this application takes? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us3rOZ Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thats one of the question i have as well. On the Border website it says "Do not arrange a health examination until we ask you to." https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue887 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi Applied for 887 on 02/02/2017 online. As us3rOZ says, the website health assessment section says to hold off until they ask. I read somewhere that they may ask if you have travelled out of Australia for more than 4 weeks and also for some specific countries whatever the duration of visit may be. @us3rOZ - when did you apply? have you been allocated a CO yet? Regards, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heugas Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 We called IMMI yesterday, they told us not to do it unless they ask for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Medicals are only valid for a year, so I'd imagine your agent is right and knows your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
