At 18 months he will probably still fit into a bassinet.  Weight limit for Singapore Airlines is 14kg for instance, though I've read that airlines do differ on that.  Speaking from experience of transporting an infant from the UK to NZ and back a few times, I'd definitely recommend that if you can get it!

aww thank you, my daughter fit in one at that age but this one is far too big lol, we're flying airfrance whose weight limit is only 10kg  and he was 5 kg at birth  

Hey everyone! quick question for those who have travelled to australia recently, are the flights only half full? Im flying with an 18 month old and im wondering if there will be a seat beside me i can let him sit in? thanks in advance!

Wanted to share my timelines as I have just received both 309 & 100

• Applied 24th March 2021
• 26th March RFI as (no attachments attached in application)
• 8th April Medical and Police checks completed
• 27th May RFI (details on a previous conviction requested)
• 28th July 309 & 100 Granted

 

We did not go through an agent and did the application ourselves. It was all pretty straightforward. When we submitted and paid we thought we would have a couple of weeks to get the attachments on the application as no one seemed to get assigned a Case officer straight away. Not in our case we got a RFI for everything the next day  

Very excited but expected a good 12 months + wait so 4 months has shocked us a bit. 

Congrats!!! So happy to see this!! this is our exact timeline -3 days for us! Crazy! including the previous conviction request, one difference being that we didnt see the emails from ACRO and only got that sorted two days ago so this gives me hope that we only have a couple of months left  Did you get asked to provide your sponsors UK police certificate?

I applied in the UK then came to aus on an evisitor at the end of september

I'm in aus on an evisitor, but it runs out in a couple of weeks. i'm going to apply for a tourist visa but do you think i should say 'i'm just visiting' on the application or should i say that i'm waiting for a partner visa ? confused and i dont want the visa to get denied

Hey Chany, i applied 24th April and also have KP, i'm in Brisbane Aus now waiting. Hopefully we'll hear soon !!

Thank you Sticks! thats a weight lifted, cannot wait to go home to the sun ! and good luck, i hope you get contacted soon

Hi everyone, congrats to everyone getting their visas granted ! I just have a question about going on a tourist visa while we wait, I'm australian living with my partner and our daughter in the uk, we plan on heading out to Australia very soon my partner on a 12 month tourist visa, was just wondering how much money do you think we should have in our account to show at the airport ? and were much of you asked to show bank statments or anything when you arrived ? xox

​

Hi everyone ! hope your all doing well! just sent my partners visa away today, just a quick question for those who went on a tourist visa. This is probably a silly question but do you need to wait three months untill your medicals done before going on a tourist visa ? or can you get these done while in australia and get them sent to London ?

Fantastic! thank you for the reply

Hiya everyone, new to this thread. Im applying for an offshore partner visa this week, dreading the 8-9 month waiting period. does anyone know when applying offshore, if i wanted to go to aus on a tourist visa do i have to come back to uk for partner visa to be granted or can i go offshore somewhere closer to australia ?
