      Former PR - what visa do I need to travel for an interview?

      By CaptainC · Posted

      Hi all, I’m back here again after a loooooong hiatus, I was a moderator on here for a while.   I applied for and was granted a 189 Skilled Visa in 2015, I activated the visa before returning to the UK.  For various complicated reasons I was unable to return to Australia and instead remained in the UK. Obviously my 189 has expired now, I’m aware that there’s a chance I could apply for an RRV, but before all that I may need to travel to Australia for an interview in the next couple of weeks. I have an old drink driving conviction when I was stupid teenager so I’m aware that I can’t apply for an eVisitor, but presume I can travel on a 600 visitor visa, but wonder if this will/can affect further visa applications? Or am I overthinking it?

      Are you sure it's a partner visa you want to apply for?  It sounds like maybe a Prospective Marriage Visa would be a better choice? For a partner visa, you must already be in a 'de facto' relationship for at least a year.  That means you've already been living as if you are married for a year.  Dating or being engaged does not count.  I'd recommend a consultation with a MARA registered migration agent to make sure you're applying for the right visa.
