Ah - I didn't think about that!

Welcome to SA! The weather has slowly being getting better, so you picked a good time to come. Singapore Airlines isn't currently using any of their A380's - they are all parked up in the desert somewhere Northern Territory. Even in the peak of travel they didn't fly the A380 in Adelaide. You was most probably on a A350. A much better aircraft anyway (in my opinion) - the seats and in flight entertainment are superior.

That sounds right. Personally, to make life easier and to get through quickly, I don't bring any food across the border.

That’s usually applies before you go through security. Usually you can take liquids onboard that had been purchased in the terminal after security. Food is usually fine. Full service carriers don’t have issues bringing your own snacks etc. But there are issues brining them into Australia.

It's about keeping the costs down. The lighter the plane the less fuel it consumes. This is usually a rule for budget airlines. They want to force you to buy (at an inflated cost) their food and drink onboard.

I am not sure how easy it will be to justify a renewal considering PR holders can still enter Australia.

They are keeping costs down so do not pay the licence fees for all the content. If they use an aircraft that has its fees paid for (maybe for a charter or domestic flight) passengers might be in luck.

It’s up to them to prove the items in the address on the CCJ are theirs. If they can’t (such as loosing the paperwork) it is assumed they belong to the debtors. Outrageous in my option!

I don't think it's an unreasonable amount of time to wait without hearing anything.

This doesn’t reflect my experience. Our agent has been great. OP - when I applied for my rental they didn’t even ask about my immigration status.

Im not in your area but keen for a catch up in the city if you are?

They seem to be concentrating on partner visas as well. I recently applied fo the 887 visa and they only processed 7 last month.

Just to expand a little. It's the state you arrive into from your international flight.The state you pass immigration. Not your final destination. So if you have to connect domestically this is done after you quarantine.

Someone comes along and starts a friendly conversation with us and you respond with rude answer. If you was speaking in person would you be so curt?

I echo form 80. It took ages to find my travel history.

Hello, I have submitted my PR application. I understand that I can apply for Medicare. However I already have a reciprocal agreement card. But This doesn't include everything (elective surgery for example). I am under the impression that the Medicare level I can receive whilst my PR is being processed is on par with the "full" Medicare someone with a granted PR receives. If so I assume it's worth upgrading to receive the additional benefits? Having a look online it's really giving me any answers! Thank You

That’s why I posted. Hopefully one will be straightforward and one could answer. Thanks

Hello, I have just submitted my 887 visa. I did this without an agent (one wasn't interested in the business and another did respond!). During the application is asked if I have a De Facto partner. I do so I obviously declared this. I place her details under other family members (ie not accompanying). However at the end of the application it is asking for documents (screenshot attached). She is Australian and I haven't actually included her as an applicant. Do I have to provide any evidence please? If so what please? I am confused as to why this is being asked as it isn't a partner visa nor is she an applicant on this visa. Thanks in advance

I think you technically broke your visa conditions of the 489. I know you have some grace period but I doubt it’s that’s long.

Completely agree.

The food. There is such a wide range of good food from many countries. I feel much safer than my home town. I had recent experience with the cops (work matter) and they couldn’t do enough. The internet is better here. (Although the locals don’t agree).

Parcels and packages are a lot cheaper though. There is a lot more competition. I used to sell quite a lot of eBay in the UK. Selling stuff here now and the price difference is notable.

I missing cheap and fast postage.

I can confirm this. Victoria I known for rejecting potential migrants that submit an EOI to multiple states.

This used to be the case. However they have stopped this practise.
