  1. I think I'm right in believing you have 5 years to validate a 143 but does anyone know if I need to validate a 173 and if so how long do I have? (assuming it would be granted) Phoebe
  2. I hope all goes well for you :biggrin: My daughter Emma is on the East n the Gold Coast, she has friends who went to Perth and love it. The reason I asked about when the PR starts from is Gill (gollywobbler) sent me a link regarding a Senior Card when you reach 60 which gives you discounts in various places but when you have been a PR you can apply for a Commonwealth Senior Card which helps with prescription charges and our equivalent of Raod Tax so worth knowing :smile:
  3. Hi Lindsay Thanks for that :smile: I just dont want to feel like I'm 'perstering' people. It's 3 years for my daughter too. I'm sure my son would love it out there but sadly I dont think my son's future wife (they get married in Nov this year) would entertain the idea too much family on her side :no:. Are you going on the 173 or 143 and if you dont mind me asking what part are you going to and how far off are you. Do you (or anyone} know if the 173 (temp visa) is granted then converted to 143 (perm visa) will you have PR from when you got the 173 or !43:unsure:
  4. Hi We are looking to go the 173 then 143 route for various reasons. I know the 173 is a 2 year temp visa but if we were granted the 173 and decided we wanted to convert to 143 say after 18 months, could we do that? Also if we were to convert would we have to be 'offshore' i.e. back in the UK Thanks in advance Phoebe
  5. Hi Gill So would my daughter and son in law ( who are permanant residents and are 'supporting' our visa) have to be our Assurer's and what if they personally didnt have the funds:unsure: and would it be cheaper applying for the 143 straight off rather than the 173 then the 143?? Thanks again Phoebe
  6. Hi Lindsay Thankyou so much for that:smile: Now I just have to try and work the finances out :wideeyed: Just about the $14000 Assurance of support per person, if for some reason you have to 'dip' into it and it runs out............then what:sad: Sorry about all the questions but I am just starting out :arghh:
  7. Hi everyone We are considering applying for CPV 173 then convert to CPV 143 as we would be leaving a son in the UK so want to be certain we are doing the right thing for us all. Can anybody tell me, when you actually apply for the visa (regardless of which one) do you have to pay the fee on application. Its so confusing trying to work the finances out Thanks
