Thanks Quoll, that's really helpful to know.

Hi Quoll, what wouldn't be covered on Medicare under the reciprocal agreement with the UK?

Hi, my mother-in-law has been waiting to see what happens with the new temporary parent visa but now she's thinking she might be better to just take the chance and come out on the visitor visa, apply for the aged parent visa 804 when she gets here and go on the bridging visa. I have a few questions I'm hoping for some help on :-) If she was to go for this option does anyone know when would she be asked to undertake a medical? Also what sorts of health issues would give her a problem in passing the medical? She has arthritis, COPD, recent hip replacement and an eye condition. What are the main issues with going down this route?

Thanks Ferrets, I will do :-)

I know, it's a massive move for her and the uncertainty of the visa would be hard but she's feeling so lonely and unhappy right now that I think it's worth the upheaval. If she leaves it any longer she just won't be fit enough but at least once she gets here we can take care of her.

Hi all, my mother-in-law has been looking at joining us in Oz and at her age (79), it looks like coming over on a visitor visa and applying for an 804 whilst here might be the best option. Can anyone tell me if she will need to do a medical before being granted a bridging visa?
-
Yeah, I know the reciprocal isn't full cover, we were on a 457 for a few years. Is there not a $40k cost with the CPV though on top of the visa charge and won't she need a medical with that one too? When we got our medicals for our PR they weren't done until just before the visa was granted so surely with the 804 they won't do one prior to issuing the bridging visa? Also she's 79!
-
I haven't heard of anyone on the bridging visa having an issue getting medical treatment Quoll, do you know someone this has happened to? Also it is her intention to get private health insurance so surely that would cover it? The failing of the medical is a worry though tbh. Do you know if she would be able to apply for the new 5 year temporary visa if she failed the medical for the 804?

Hi Hayley, we have just started looking at this for my mother-in-law and have been told if she comes over on a holiday visa and applies for the 804 whilst she's here (she's of pension age) then she will be put on a bridging visa which will allow her to stay here until it's granted. (Which could take 30 years!) She wouldn't be able to leave the country whilst on the bridging visa but for her that won't create a problem and she will live with us so doesn't have to worry about the house purchase. (Just noticed you posted about this exact option above! :-))

Which insurance company do you use?

Thanks blossom79, ended up getting an agent to assist as it was too complicated for the tight timescale we had, got it lodged so all good :biggrin:

Thanks I'll try that with the passport pics and wait to see what else they ask for, I'm just hoping it's straight forward, to say I'm stressed is the understatement of the year:arghh:

Thanks, I've read all the information on the website and in this booklet but what concerned me is when I looked at some of the old paper application forms they asked for details of all Medicare claims since arriving in Australia and someone has told me they need dates of every country you have visited in the past 10 years, is this correct? Does anyone know if I need to submit passport pictures with it?
