Hi there, wonder if someone can shed any light on this. My husband has been employed here and we will be returning to the uK in December. I assume the medicare levy is taken on an as earned basis and therefore once we submit his tax return for this financial year that will be taken account of. Question is do we leave medicare card sitting dormant on return back to UK? Also if we are not earning assume we do not have to pay the levy or private medical insurance? Thanks in advance

Great thank you we are on a 175 but I was worried the 2 years might re-set if we were out of the country for a long period of time (know we have to do 2 out of the 5 but thought there might be a reset at some point during that period). Does anyone know how having one child born here would impact or benefit us for future applications or if there is a different type of visa we would apply for? Would we have to apply for a different visa for bub 2? Also do we need to do 4 consecutive years to get citizenship or 2 out of each 5 year period over the first 10 years? Thanks all

Hi there, can anyone shed any light on the following. In short, we came to Oz on PR (needing to complete 2 years out of the 5). We had our first daughter here and are expecting again and planning on going home in Dec (before our 2 years is up). Bub 2 will then be born in UK (bub one has two passports). We are wondering whether there are any time spans in completing the 2 out of 5 years ie is there a limit as to how long you can return to UK before the time starts again and you have to work up the 2 years or can we come back any time within the 5 to complete? Secondly any ideas on bub 2 and visa process in future for them? We are trying to keep all our options open and want to be fair to bub 2 but also want to go home for a year or so. Other option is to stay and bub 2 be born here (also getting 2 passports). Am struggling to get any advice from Embassy...many thanks in hope! Dawn
